Rich got involved with horses at a young age, when he was about 10 yrs old his dad took him to Dana Irvings farm and that was all it took. He started spending all his free time there and when he got older he started working for Dana and continued to work for him for many years.

We are currently stabled at Ocean Downs Racetrack, which is a perfect place to train young horses.

Rich has broke and put the foundation in some notable horses such as Share the Delight (who was 3rd in the Meadowlands Pace behind Art Official and Somebeachsomewhere), Secret Lover (winner of the 2002 Tompkins Geers. Rich owned, trained and drove), Forensic Ztam and Knoxtrot Hall (Rich broke and trained Knox thru his first 3 wins and drove him to his season leader record on a half mile track).

Rich has over 30 yrs experience and is a trainer with integrity, treating every horse under his care as if he himself owned it.

Partnerships are available and Rich offers reasonable rates.

"A man needs someone to believe in him. A horse has this need too.
Whether he is bred to race or show or pull a plow,
he needs someone who believes in his power to run, jump or pull.
One day he pushes against the wind and opens his nostrils to suck it in.
Suddenly he wants to run and he does and he wins.
No longer a diamond in the rough, he has taken on
the sparkle of a true champion."
