We would like to thank everyone for all the kind words. We are honored and humbled to have the opportunity to touch people's lives in a positive way.
Bruce and
Staci are the example to which we, horse owners and trainers alike, should all
aspire. Their expertise with all breeds and riding disciplines, as well as with
driving and in-hand work, is evinced by their consistent success in the show
arena. We feel very fortunate to have this wonderful pair training and caring
for our horses. Their combined talent has been pivotal in our Friesian stallion
excelling in competitions and out on the trails. We owe his success completely
to Bruce and Staci. Our sincere thanks to you for the fantastic job you’ve done
with Leopold.

I would like to thank Bruce
and Staci Griffin for their outstanding care, training, and showing of my
horses. We had great success in 2007 with both High Fashion and Saracchi and we
could not be more pleased.
I sent them two super green and talented youngsters and was returned two
successful super talents with outstanding show records!

A
few years ago I approached the well known and respected horse trainer
Bob Orton to ask if he would be able to present my then 2 year old
colt. He said no, but handed me a business card of a professional whom
he described ' as good as I am '.
I was impressed by this recommendation and contacted the individual
- Bruce Griffin. Filled with plenty of energy and a clear vision of
how to train and present horses at their best, Bruce and his wife Staci
exemplify top professionalism in our sport.
Bruce presented my colt Raison de Joie in-hand under a variety of international judges at Dressage at Devon - each time either becoming Champion ( incl. Young Horse Champion) or placing second. Bruce was instrumental in Raison de Joie's biggest success to-date - 2006 United States Dressage Federation's Three Year old Horse of the Year.
I have recommended Bruce to a number of my clients - each time he was
able to present their horses far beyond their owners expectations - and
he will be the only professional handler I personally will use and
continue to recommend.

"We have been so fortunate to have had Bruce and Staci Griffin of Griffin Sport Horses handle our two champion Friesians stallions, Wyn de Pluum and Eeltsje F in competition. The combination of our magnificent stallions and the intuitive knowledge Bruce and Staci seem to have when handling them in the ring has led us to our IFSHA World Championships and our Championship at Devon. They are professional, honest and so very hard working for their clients, you couldn't ask for more...And boy, do they know their stuff in the ring! We look forward to a continued long and strong relationship with Griffin Sport Horses!"

Bruce and Staci Griffin have done a wonderful job handling my horses
during the last two years. Their professionalism and love of horses
shine through in everything that they do.
They did an exceptional job handling my stallion Manu Forti's Sea Hawk
(Winston) at the 2007 Irish Draught Horse Society of North America
stallion inspections which culminated in Winston passing with flying
colors. I could not be more appreciative of their hard work and
dedication. Getting to watch Bruce and Staci handle my horse and many
others at our national Irish Draught show was truly inspiring.

Bruce worked with our guy, "Red" for 2 shows in 2006. Despite our lack of knowledge of DSHB (we do Hunter Breeding), Bruce gave us every consideration, and was readily available to work with us. As a 5'4" owner of a 15.2+ Art Deco 2 yr old, I was struggling to maintain the upper hand. Bruce showed me how to turn things around; in less than 10 weeks, I was able to show "Red" in Amatuer-Handler at DAD and place (5th) in good competition with a competitive score. Bruce followed that up with an outstanding run for Red's IBC class, where Red finished 2nd. Bruce had to run to catch his plane before the class ended, but I now had the confidence and control to take Red out under the lights to receive our ribbon - What a fantastic experience for us, courtesy Griffin Sporthorses!

Bruce and Staci brought out the best in my (then) yearling Riley. Not only did he "shine" on the triangle, but judges commented on his nice expression and manners. I attribute this to tactful and sensitive handling. Thanks guys!

Hello Everyone! Just had to share some pictures
of our first family riding day! Kevin is a VERY
happy man with his girl Pietsje who he just got back
home yesterday. (March 2, 2008) A huge "Thank You" to
Bruce and Staci Griffin for the fabulous job they have
done with her. She looks super. Kevin did great with
her today! It's amazing how good a Friesian looks
in a western saddle...lol. It inspired Brielle and
I to get on Luke and Bummy. Looking forward to many more.
Christine, Kevin & Brielle
