"I can attest to the results obtained by Mr. Stevens' methods. As my husband's young Thoroughbred gelding has been under Mr. Stevens tutelage for seven months and is working at advanced levels already-- with seasoning he will finish up to the higher levels in short order. All this with no stress on either impressionable young mind or growing bones, and his work ethic is marvelous-- the horse loves to go to work!

All of Craig's horses are happy and confirmed in thier work, and the horse is the proof, after all..."

"After I had decided that Lochinvar was a horse I wanted, Craig traveled with me to Bellingham to meet him and after about 5 minutes on him had Lochinvar doing a little piaffe!  The original owners had said that they were a little concerned about Loki's work ethic, but in his work with Craig, I have not seen any problems with willingness to work... Lochinvar has willingly and enthusiastically advanced from walk, trot, canter, to early trot extensions, canter pirouettes, piaffe and flying lead changes without ever revolting or otherwise showing any reluctance to learn new things."

"I love it at NSAE, I like the feeling there, I enjoy everyone I have come in contact with... It’s extra special to me the time you personally take to update me on Emir and the individual attention both he and I get. I know that is not always part of a training or boarding contract, it is the PEOPLE that make that special."

"For years, I have been looking for a trainer who made sense, who did not rig up the horse mechanically to set it in a frame or use other forceful techniques. Cricket is a horse who can test your patience, but Craig and his assistant trainer just keep their cool and let Cricket figure it out. Cricket looks fabulous, happy and healthy."
