One of the finest facilities of it’s kind in the entire south, Clear Creek Stud is truly a full-service operation, specializing in personal service to both clients and their Thoroughbreds. We board up to 120 mares at a time (taking every precaution at foaling), break yearlings, train on a five-furlong training track (with breakaway safety rails), have a swim facility and a eurociser (mechanical exerciser).

STALLION
MANAGEMENT
At Clear Creek Stud we have worked hard
to establish a stallion roster and breeding program that
is second to none in this area of the country. We consider
ourselves extremely fortunate to have put together an
elite group of stallions with
pedigrees and conformation that would make them desirable,
not just in this region, but anywhere. Additionally, all
have proven their ability on the racetrack, while facing
top competition.
BREAKING/TRAINING
& LAYUPS
We
begin, of course, with the basics of lunging, driving,
round pen, then gallop the young equine athlete with company
in open fields. Next, we take them to our five-eighths
mile training track (with break-away safety rails.)
Our
staff is trained to take whatever time is necessary to
attend to every yearling as an individual, every day.
We don't call owners at 60 days reporting babies on the
bit, or telling them that their horse is working like
the next Secretariat..
The
goal at Clear Creek Stud is simple - to deliver to the
trainer, horses that are healthy, willing and fit, both
mentally and physically. We strive to make the trainer's
job a little easier and when the time comes for more serious
work, the youngsters will be prepared.
Some
trainers and owners may request or require that we do
some things differently than our normal routine, and certainly
we make it our business to accommodate those clients.
Clear
Creek Stud is also a great place for lay-ups as we have
a very professional staff with a wealth of knowledge on
most of the physical problems that racehorses encounter
over their careers. Additionally, we have a well respected
race track veterinarian on call daily. Our 282 acres offer
the finest amenities such as a Eurociser and top class
facilities for training, swimming, rehabilitation, and
convalescence.
We
have a history of exceptional professionalism. Entrust
your horses to us...you will never regret it.
