On 74 coastal acres near San Francisco, we breed, raise, and train hunter, jumper, and dressage horses with pure German Verband-approved pedigrees and offer customized training programs for young horses and developing riders interested in creating a deeper connection and enjoyable relationship with their equine partner with or without competitive ambitions. 

Our breeding strategy is to marry a unique collection of performance-tested premium, elite, or states premium Verband approved mares with frozen semen from Europe’s best stallions to produce youngsters of extreme quality, athleticism, and rideability. Please browse our website for our current sales collection or our breeding pages to learn more about our mares, the stallions use, and their offspring born at Branscomb Farm.  

Farm Manager & Principal Rider/Trainer Ivy Creahan and her assistant Ella Leichty offer private training services to a limited number of clients;  tailoring individual instruction to the talents of each horse and/or rider to cultivate a lifetime of mutual enjoyment and competitive success. 

The farm proudly offers fresh and frozen semen from our flagship stallion Contiano BF - one of a rare few USA-bred stallions to acheive the German Verband "elite" status for his semen use in Europe.  You can see examples of many other Branscomb Farm bred horses who have gone on in sport and breeding in our Alumni and Testimonials pages.
