About Clarissa

​

Clarissa Graham Wilmerding (also known as Chizzy) grew up in Mendham, New Jersey where she fostered her love of horses through the Somerset Hills Pony Club and the Essex Fox Hounds. After attending Washington College as an undergraduate and Bank Street College for her Master’s degree in Education, she worked as head groom for acclaimed British eventer Jane Holderness-Roddam, the first woman to win a gold medal for eventing in the Olympics. Clarissa soon discovered a passion for breeding and producing young horses. Mystery Man II, a successful three star horse who qualified for the Rolex 4* event in 2006, was the first of many youngsters she has produced into competitive show jumping, dressage, and eventing partners.

 

Clarissa is currently the head trainer at Jenny and Greg Morris’s Hunts End Farm of Gladstone, New Jersey. She enjoys giving back to the equestrian community and watching the next generation of riders grow by teaching lessons for the same Pony Club she participated in as a child.
