An essential part of the Brickyard
program is daily handling and training from birth through the age of
going under saddle. Kerry McGuigan is an integral part of the
training at Brickyard Farm. Kerry has been riding, training, and
showing young hunter/jumpers for the past 27 years. Kerry uses quiet,
proven training methods to bring each horse along at their own pace
resulting in very calm, confident, and competitive show prospects.
Kerry’s own education had come from
training with some of the country’s top hunter/jumper trainers such as
Sandy Ferrel, Louis Serio, and Greg Best. In addition, she has trained
under Mary Anne Tauskey (Olympic 3 day team gold medalist 76), Lisa
Lewis Greene (USDF bronze and silver medalist Dressage). Kerry has shown
competitively from baby green hunters through the open Adequan Hunters
3'3", Jumpers from Level 1's through level 4's. She has shown in
Ocala, Vermont, Saugerties, NY, Culpeper, VA, Devon, as well as
locally in NJ and PA.
Kerry has successfully trained students competing in hunters and
jumpers, including many championships in: schooling jumpers (level 1
and 2), childrens hunters, junior hunters, childrens eq, low adult
hunters, and open Adequan hunters including students qualifying for
zone finals and Marshall and Sterling league finals.
