Welcome to The Plaidchat- an extension of The Plaidcast where we expand upon conversations in our sport and discuss the most recent issue of The Plaid Horse Magazine. Today, Piper speaks with grand prix show jumper and owner of Bexley Farm, James Fairclough II.
- Host: Piper Klemm, publisher of The Plaid Horse
- Guest: James Fairclough II is a Grand Prix show jumper and the owner of Bexley Farm, based in Bedford, New York, and Wellington, Florida. He comes from a deeply rooted equestrian family: his grandfather, Dr. Rost, was an FEI veterinarian, course designer, and show manager; his grandmother, Joan Chambers, was a national rodeo queen at Madison Square Garden and a respected hunter/jumper trainer; his father, James Fairclough, and grandfather, John Fairclough, were accomplished four-in-hand drivers; and his mother, Robin Rost Brown, is a Grand Prix rider, trainer, and judge. James built his professional foundation riding for Frank Chapot, Anne Kursinski, Candice King, Jane Clark, and Stal Hendrix. After winning the Cacchione Cup in college and competing professionally in Europe, he returned home to establish Bexley Farm, a high-performance training and sales program specializing in the hunter, jumper, and equitation disciplines.
