Developing strong relationships is the foundation of everything Craig does both professionally and personally. Being accepted as a trusted advisor by his clients is a privilege he takes very seriously. Craig has a well-earned reputation for being honest, practical and uncomplicated.
After 13 years as an equine specialist for Barastoc, and a lifetime of experience with horses, Craig has the knowledge and expertise to offer on-farm consultation, problem-solving and advisory services to owners, breeders and competitors at all levels.
"Feed recommendations should be a factor that help and improve the horse. They need to achieve the desired outcome, be easy for owners or staff to implement and be sustainable, all while offering good value. You’ve got to keep in mind the KISS principle."
