A Real Horseman
Jim is a life-long horseman who has bred and managed his own string of foxhunters for decades and currently hunts with North Hills Hunt. He has bred and raised horses for others to enjoy in foxhunting, eventing, driving and pleasure. His natural empathy for both horses and their owners shines through in everything he does.
With his life-partner Susan Brigham, he owns and manages Catalpa Corner Horse Park. The Park hosts many events throughout the year, including an annual USEA-recognized Horse Trial on the first weekend in August, the North Hills Hunt Hunter Pace, open schoolings and new in 2018, an Eventer Derby.
Jim also enjoys spending time with his family and managing his cattle and sheep herds.
