Matchmaker Ltd

There’s the right horse for you…and then there’s
all the rest. Making sure you have the exact horse to match your skills and budget is what we do. Then we provide the kind of training that brings out the best in both of you. And we’ve been doing it for more than 40 years. Connie Stevens has been in the hunter/jumper world since 1973. After attending school at Denver University, she made Colorado

her first home, running Foxbury Farm, one of the top show barns in the west. In 1986, she relocated to the Chicago area. Over the years, she has become recognized as one of the nation’s top trainers for the show ring, as well as a “R” judge with assignments nationwide. As a trainer, Connie brings a judge’s eye to her work, schooling riders of all ages and abilities at her Matchmaker stable in Chicago’s northern suburbs. Over the years she has taken riders all the way from short stirrup through the Medal/Maclay finals and Grand Prix. In finding a horse for a client, her passion is to first discern the unique skills, temperament and expectations of the rider, then, through her nationwide network, find a horse that precisely matches those attributes. Connie can be scheduled for lessons and schooling at shows, and can also arrange clinics at other facilities.
