Founded in 2002 by Denis and Page Connaghan, Yumeewarra Farm is home to professional hunter/jumper rider Claire Connaghan. Claire has competed in high level jumpers, hunters, and equitation under the tutelage of top professionals including Bill Schaub, Merilee Ventura, Marylisa Leffler, Patty Foster, Hillary Simpson, and Harold Chopping. Over the years, Claire has developed a knack for working with quirky and green horses, developing individualized programs to help them shine. Claire believes horses perform best when they love their jobs and listens closely to what each horse says in every step of their training—aiming to challenge them enough to grow and learn but always making sure they have a positive experience both at home and in the show ring.
Claire is currently based out of Hyperion Stud in Barboursville, VA and Wellington, FL.
