Claire Affleck Training is open for horse lessons all throughout the year, we have an indoor arena as well as an outdoor arena so lessons are performed in all types of weather. Meet the horses available for lessons below:

Hi, my name is Rannita. I am a Norwegian Fjord and we all have a mohawks like me.   I am a mare, which means I’m a girl, and I’m eleven years old. I love to be groomed and fed carrots, apples, and pears!

Hi, my name is Ransom. I am an Appaloosa and we have spotted fur. I am gelding, which means I’m a boy, and I am also eleven years old.  I love having kids ride me and I love to eat peppermints!

Hi, my name is Geronimo.  I am a Friesian. I am a 5 year old gelding - remember that means
that I’m a boy. I love trail riding, fox hunting, and molasses cookies! Read more about Geronimo and watch videos of kids riding him at GeronimoForSuccess.com.

Lessons are $40/hour.  Students will learn how to ride as well as care for the horse.  Students should wear long pants and hard soled shoes, preferably with a heel.  Riding helmets are provided.

The CNY Fertility Center opened its doors for business in 1997. Dr. Robert Kiltz and the CNY Fertility Center have helped to create over 4000 babies since then. I have been working with Dr. Kiltz for almost a year now and it is only through firsthand experience that you can fully appreciate their dedication to their patients. A client walks through their doors looking for the help they need in having a baby. What they get is so much more; they become part of a community.

In 2007 CNY Fertility Center celebrated their 10th year with a celebration at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo where they invited all of their past and present patients. It was such a huge success that they did it again in June of 2008 and are talking about making it a yearly event. Now the children at this event felt such a connection with the other Fertility Kids that two of them (Annemarie and Margaret) asked Dr. Kiltz if they could create a Kid’s Club. Of course he said “YES” and so the CNY Fertility Kid’s Club was born. Their first get together will take place this Saturday, October 4th at Claire Affleck Training in Auburn, NY. Dr. Kiltz invited the Kid’s Club to “meet and greet” his horse Geronimo at this location. It promises to be a great day for the CNY Fertility Center community and their Kid’s Club. complete with pumpkin painting, horse rides, games, face painting, entertainment and more.
