Kristin's Horses - Horse Training & Riding Lessons English & Western Riding lessons - beginning to advanced; Professional Horse Training Lessons given by appt. throughout the week.

I give 1 hour private lessons where you can learn everything from the basics of grooming and tacking your horse, leading and handling your horse, up to riding with confidence whether in the arena or out on the trails. I also teach jumping for those english riding students that are prepared and at the proper level. I have students of all ages that come to learn and ride with me - and we all have fu

n! T take an hour lesson on my horses it is $40.00 and for a trail ride it is $35 per person/per horse. I also train horses professionally for those who may need a little help with a "behavior" issue, to those who need a complete "over-haul" for their horse. My philosophy is that we should be getting respect from our horses as we also give them respect. I work with a wide variety of horses from major long-term problems, to babies that just need to be started. I work quietly and take my time and tend to get very good results. I rode on the Southern California show circuit for years under several different trainers. I competed in 3-day eventing in Orange County for 10 years + and at that time also broke and trained several horses with my instructors. We took horses from Del Mar and Santa Anita race track and turned them into eventing horses - hunter/jumpers, dressage, cross-country - whatever they excelled in we throughout their training, we competed in it! I rode for the Oregon State University Equestrian Team while attending college. I became a certified riding instructor while at OSU, taking years of coaching and riding courses that once I passed them I was certified and taught english/western riding classes for OSU. We were given credits for teaching for the University. My training includes incorporated ideas and theories from Clinton Anderson, Steve Rother and some of the Parelli ideas along with my own style and techniques that have developed and grown over the years, riding and training an array of different horses in different disciplines (under many different trainers of my own). I will train by the month or by the ride, depending on what each owner would like to achieve and what they are looking to get done with their horse. I am competent in training horses in any english or western discipline that is brought to me.

My sweet Zazu was injured last week... seversl deep lacerations and a possible stress fracture. He is on stall rest at least until the new xrays when more swelling has gone down...He is very sad not going out during this nice westher - watching his neighbors go out is hard on him, but we know its in his best interest until we have more details.

He would appreciate any good thoughts and prayers for no fracture! Thank you♡

Well, it has been a while since my last post on my page... My Man Vinnie crossed the Rainbow Bridge a little over a year ago, and it still feels like yesterday. I still see him in my mind just as clearly. I remember exactly what it felt like to hug his huge neck. I can almost feel him put his soft muzzle against my cheek or on my head, swishing his upper lip back and forth to tangle up my hair.....I can remember his warm breath on my skin on a chilly day after our rides.
Although I am thankful for all this.....oh what I would give for one last ride on My Man Vinnie! To feel his strength and power as he would clear any fence or obstacle in front of him, the feeling is unmatched! He was that once in a lifetime kind of horse. A gift. My Man Vinnie was a true gift in my life. So special, he far succeeded the dream I thought he was going to be...he was so much more, in so many ways...

Although Vinnies memories are vividly and firmly set in my heart, he is still gone. He is gone. With his passing and absence, a very big hole in my heart has appeared. A large, empty hole. A place in my heart that was taken the moment I saw those big, sweet, gentle eyes, and the lopsided heart in the middle of his forehead. A place in my heart that was his from the moment we first met...he had nickered when he saw me and I knew, I knew I was his.

I miss "My Man Vinnie" every single day. Although I now have a relationship with "Zazu's Belmont" and am trying to foster this and help us become closer, Vinnie is always there. Zazu and I have become closer and he genuinely seems to like me now, but he will never be Vinnie and I believe that's okay. He will take a new and different place in my heart. I can love them both. I love Vinnie for all he brought to my life and the dreams he fulfilled for me and was to me and will ALWAYS be. I love Zazu for what he is, is going to be and has helped me thru. He has become my new friend and is developing his own place in my heart - a different one.

Vinnie will always and forever be with me and hold his special place in my heart. Thst once in a lifetime horse. "My Man Vinnie" is gone, but will never be forgotten, only remembered, Always.
