I also have used craig griffiths for the same reason as could never get Ivan stockdale. There has been another post about his recently already. From reports ive heard hes very good thats why hes alweays booked. Craig is brilliant as he trained with ivan. Would always use craig now.
Ivan does all our horses & I've been very happy with him.
He does a regular clinic at Leahurst, if you can get there. Don't have to book so far in advance for that.
Well, he has an incredibly good reputation around here - when we tried he had a 9 month wait for an appoinment - which speaks for itslef really. He recommended someone else to us which we now use.
