ABOUT US

Courtney is a fifth-generation horse professional. Raised in North Salem, NY, her youth was centered around equestrian activities. From taking her pony onto the trails at Baxter Road and foxhunting with the Golden’s Bridge Hounds to competing at Pony Club Championships 2 years in a row, Courtney is a well rounded equestrian. Her experience is built upon the longstanding fundamentals of horsemanship. She has been riding since the age of 2 thanks to her father, Bob, an experienced and greatly knowledgeable horseman. Dressage has been the center of Courtney’s life for over 20 years; growing up she had the benefit of riding with Michael Poulin and Carol Lavell. While dressage has always been the core of her training, she has also trained in eventing and jumpers.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Client Speak For Us

Samantha

I came to CB Walker Stables in May of 2020. I had been riding Hunter/Jumper for the last thirty years at different farms and wanted something better for my horses and me. That something being training, horse care, trust and enjoyment for both my horse and me. I came to CB Walker Stables not knowing what to expect, hearing the things I was looking for on the phone, but not knowing if it would be that way once I got there. For the first time in all of my farm and trainer experiences it was and has been WAY better than expected or ‘promised’. I have never found a situation where a farm trainer excels in all three areas. Training, Riding and Horse care. I would always have to settle for one or two of the areas. At CB Walker Stables everything is phenomenal. The grooms are so loving and caring to the horses as well as knowledgeable. Courtney and David care about each horse as if they were their own, their attention to detail and care is impeccable. Thankyou Courtney, David and SB Walker Stables for give my horse the perfect home and life. Also, helping me learn and grow in my riding and really enjoy it while I am doing it!

Ulli

When I moved to the US from Austria, I was worried because I had the best trainer I could think of for my horses. But when I started training with you it took my riding skills to a new level of partnership and understanding. I am so grateful for the way you work with me and horses, how you find different ways to explain things over and over again just until I understand them! I love that you keep pushing me when you know I can do better.

Susan

From Courtney, I learned that the goals isn’t picture of perfect prettiness, but rather a partnership between horse and rider, based on a mutual respect. I’ve grown from a timid and awkward adult amateur rider to one full of confidence and trust in my horse. Courtney’s taught me the joy in taking breaks to just ‘cow-girl’ it or to meander through that back trails, building our relationship on obstacles, such as roaring streams, faced and conquered together. Courtney has an innate debility to challenge both the horse and the rider, without overwhelming them, and the progress we’ve made as a team has been remarkable and will be unstoppable. Thank you, Courtney for always believing in Workin’ For Hops.

Gwen

Courtney is an avid and accomplished equestrian whose gifts cover the entire gamut from elite Grand Prix dressage competition and the development of top competition level horses and riders to best practices farm and equine care and management. She is the reason that I have fulfilled my long held dream of riding dressage with a beautiful, challenging and yet safely manageable equine partner, who is flourishing under the watchful eye and lifelong expertise of Courtney, her husband, David and expert farrier and farmer and endless supporter of their gorgeous and wonderful farm environment and their gentle and devoted team. I cannot thank Courtney enough for the privilege of training with her, and every day I look forward to life at CB Walker farm where I can practice in the spacious indoor ring or take a lovely trail ride through the endless Bedford trail system connected to the farm. Thank you, Courtney for always believing in Workin’ For Hops.
