Crumpler Stables Ltd.
Kim Crumpler started training horses in high
school. He ran his own business and successfully
showed a profit! During his college years, he
worked for Allen Blessman and Charlotte
Stubblefield. After graduation from college, Kim
enjoyed a brief career as a school teacher and
trained horses as night at Rolling Meadows Stables
in Lemont, Illinois. For the love of the sport, Kim
has followed his dream and has never wavered from
his desire to train American Saddlebreds, Roadsters,
and Hackney Ponies. Combining the love of
teaching with the love of horses, Kim has the best
of both worlds. He is a former Chairman of the
UPHA Equitation Committee and has judged
numerous shows, including Midwest, Illinois State
Fair, Lexington, Rock Creek, Wisconsin Futurity
and the World Championship Horse Show.
There may be no better perspective from which to
learn what a judge seeks in a saddle seat equitation
rider than from one who has judged nearly all of the
major equitation finals at least once and many of
them multiple times. Fran has judged the National
Horse Show in Madison Square Garden,
UPHA/American Royal National Championship,
World Championship Show at the Kentucky State
Fair, Morgan Grand National in Oklahoma City, St.
Louis National, Midwest Charity in Springfield,
Illinois, Big D, and Wisconsin Futurity. Her
excellent communication skills have made her an
"instructors instructor".
Both Fran and Kim know equitation is the basis of
good horsemanship. They teach it, not as a goal in
and of itself, but as a means to showing horses to
their best advantage.
Kim and Fran are Registered Judges in Saddleseat
Equitation, Saddle Horses, Hackney/Harness Ponies
and Roadsters. Both have been Judging Clinicians
for USEF since 1986. Fran serves on the USEF
Equitation Committee and is a past Chairman of
the UPHA Equitation Committee in addition to
being Co-chair of the USEF Saddlebred Committee
and a member of the ASHA Pleasure Horse
Committee.
