Crane Thoroughbreds, founded by Clovis Crane in 2003, is a family-owned, 65-acre farm in Lebanon specializing in breaking, preparing, and selling thoroughbred racehorses. With over 20 years of experience, Crane leverages his lifelong connection to horses and the racing industry to develop young thoroughbreds, making them more manageable and valuable for racing programs. The farm features extensive training facilities, including a galloping track and swimming pool, and is strategically located near several mid-Atlantic race venues. In 2024, the business generated over $3 million in revenue, reflecting its strong reputation and success in the horse racing market.

Clovis Crane’s journey embodies perseverance and adaptability, evolving from a college graduate with a passion for horses into a respected horseman and entrepreneur. Crane Thoroughbreds focuses on adding lasting value to horses by tempering and training them for future handling, rather than training for racing itself. The farm typically houses around 40 to 100 horses annually and has built a solid reputation that sustains its business without the need for advertising. Crane’s story highlights the blend of hard work, expertise, and a deep bond with horses that drives the farm’s ongoing success.
