Meet the Trainer - We at Bar A Ranch are very proud to have Kristina Vahe as one of our dressage trainers.
From a very young age, Kristina has had a deep love for horses. Her professional career as a horse trainer began in 2009, upon graduating from Meredith Manor International Equine College with Riding Master 6 and Training Level 3 Certifications. In 2015 she became a PATH-Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and worked as an instructor and barn manager for Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship from 2015-2019. At present, Kristina has her own training program at Bar A Ranch, while working along side Missy Gilliland as her assistant and barn manager. Kristina excels at developing and training young horses through the use of groundwork, desensitization techniques, and confidence building to create the foundation for a well-rounded dressage horse. She has earned her Bronze and Silver Medal while showcasing her talents at USDF and FEI shows, competing from Training level up to I2.
Kristina currently has an opening in her program if you are wanting to further develop your riding skills on your horse or looking to have your dressage prospect brought along in a kind, compassionate manner.
