Christine has a proven program very much geared towards horsemanship, the German Training Scale, and instilling confidence in the horses that she takes on. She has a solid base in dressage, having spent two plus years at a Dressage barn before venturing into eventing, and places a heavy emphasis on the basics and correctness from behind.
She specializes in young horses; hot, spooky, green, or otherwise missing the basics.
From their first ride ever, first ride off the track, first cross country school and beyond, she has a depth of experience, knowledge and the patience to ensure that the horses in her program are getting the positive experiences they need to thrive and progress in their own time.
She is very focused on the happiness and well-being of the horse and is excellent at communicating with owners.
She has a large network with clients looking for horses all across the east coast and is keen on finding horses their perfect homes.
Christine is available to take horses on consignment or in for training board, with the possibility of spending some of the winter in Ocala, FL.
Other services she offers include training rides, riding lessons, on ground horsemanship sessions with you and/or your horse, clipping, and much more.
