Crystal’s first priority is the safety of her students and horses. Communication is a fundamental key to all her methods - understanding the language of the horse and pairing it with the local thinking of its rider. Crystal considers the biomechanics and the biodynamic of the horse/rider partnership. The philosophy of Crystal’s instruction is to train in a way that the horse and rider can successfully preform to the full extent of their capabilities with ease. Crystal is passionate about using positive reinforcement methods with her students and horses, training with the classical principals of Dressage & Natural Horsemanship. Crystal has a history of producing successful, award winning students - decorated at all levels, from local fun shows to State, Regional and Nationally rated shows. She is honored to produce not only award winning students but educated equestrians. Horsemen and women that do not just know how to ride but how to effectively understand, communicate and succeed with their mounts. The benefit of working with horses can produce confidence, patience, a sense of accomplishment and how to efficiently analyze and respond to situations for not only yourself but another being. Therefore, riding lessons are treated as a formal subject rather than just a “hobby.” Lessons are structured with realistic goals and supplemented with an abundance of educational information outside of the arena.
