About
Introducing Team Waterford…
Owner/trainer Kathleen Peeples is a lifetime horsewoman. She grew up in New Jersey, spending her teen years as a busy and competitive junior exhibitor at Anita Hoitsma’s Bridlevale Farm, the cradle of future World Champion horse trainers.
In 1991, she married professional trainer Lynn Peeples and for almost 25 years, they were a dominant breeding and training partnership. Daughter Kendra is also a horse lover and is frequently railside supporting Kathleen and catching wonderful candid moments with her camera.
Life is constantly changing to accommodate our personal needs and as such, Kathleen is now heading up the training program at Waterford Farm with the assistance of Chris Bernard.
Christopher Bernard has been a fixture at Waterford Farm since he was a teenager. It was our privilege to watch this smart young horseman grow and develop into a very capable trainer of champions. We are thrilled that he has chosen to join the team at Waterford to further his professional career. Chris shows a great aptitude for training and presenting the in hand horses, as evidenced by his recent outstanding performance at the 2016 New York Breeders Sweepstakes where topped a beautiful class of weanlings with HAE Look At Me (pictured).
