McCrae Farm strives to provide a safe and healthy environment for horse and rider, and to train with intelligence and .compassion
Horses must be light and active; the gaits must be pure and regular; the movements are given by - not forced from - the horse.
McCrae Farm was established in 1987. We are a classical horsemanship facility dedicated to training, instruction and performance.
We are dedicated to the preservation of French Classical Training principals set in the Eighteenth Century by François Robichon de La Guérinière. We are also here to share our love of horses with the local community via performances and instructions.
What started out as our first performance sixteen years ago has inspired and grown into sold out performances to benefit local charities and to entertain family and friends. Inspired by traveling around the world, from Brazil to Paris, and seeing what the top schools and troupes have to offer, McCrae Farm has melded these experiences and brought them to life here in the Midwest.
