Having had a wide range of experiences showing and training as well as being able to learn and lesson from many extremely talented individuals has given Scotty the ability to build a program that is custom fitted for the horse. Some of his past accomplishments include:
Top Ten at the All American Quarter Horse Congress
Numerous Regional
NEHC, and State Association Awards
Two Time World Champion as a youth
Scotty is also a sought after coach and instructor for his ability to relate to the rider and horse and explain information in a fun and relaxed setting. His ability to teach has begun to make him a sought after clinician, having taught clinics in Pepperell, MA for Twin Pine Farm and then also one in Oklahoma for 2009. He was also a clinician in Topsfield, MA in 2009 at a yearly event that has had such renowned horsemen as Monty Roberts and the like.
Since moving back to Massachusetts, which is the heart of New England's Hunter/Jumper community, Scotty has mainly focused on training Reiners and some Hunters out of Evenstride, LTD., a show-quality full service Training Facility conveniently located right off of Route 95.

MSPCA – Nevins Farm
Scott Laffey began his riding career at age 4 on his pony, Beach Boy. He is the son of Olana and Scott Laffey, owners of Evenstride Farm in Byfield, Massachusetts. He was well-schooled in hunters and jumpers but found his niche in the discipline of western riding. In 1999, at age fourteen, he achieved the title of All-Around World Champion in Western pleasure but for the last 9 years has focused his attention on Reining horses.
Scott is a graduate of Oklahoma State with a major in Agri-business. He is currently a pre-veterinary student in addition to several part-time ventures including assisting with the management of Evenstride Farm, teaching a number of weekly lessons, and training horses for reining, western pleasure and the hunters. In addition to the latter, Scott is a clinician and is working towards his judging card. Over the past few years he has conducted ten clinics in Oklahoma, Maine and Massachusetts.
