Summer Camp Registration IS OPEN!
Caitlin hails from the north (the Big Apple to be exact), but found her roots were really in the countryside here in Virginia. Riding is in her blood, as the name of the company does denote (CULU is a combination of her initials, and her late father's, Lee Unterman).
The riding careers of all of Caitlin's family are founded here in Virginia. Caitlin's late grandfather, William S. Trimmer, rode for Randolph Scott and Gale Storm. Caitlin's uncle, Sid Trimmer, rehabilitates race horses into new careers right down the road in Gordonsville, VA. The close family ties to the racehorse community, and show community here in Central VA, bring CULU to it's tagline...
