Horses have been Christine’s professional focus for the past 15 years. After building a solid foundation of personal equitation, she started preparing young riders on their horses by teaching basic principles resulting in strong confidence between horse and rider. She continued her education at the University of Findlay, focusing in the hunter jumper and dressage disciplines. After graduating with degrees in Interpersonal and Public Communication and Equestrian Studies, Christine continued to work in the equestrian industry in a variety of ways, including colt breaking, stable management, polo, Thoroughbred racing, and breeding. She is a Ride Right Specialist and member of a number of organizations including ARIA, IAABC, and EA3.

Christine uses her education in dressage to teach riders to communicate with their horses efficiently and in harmony regardless of disciplining. Her coaching style focuses on the development of the horse and rider as a team to maximize the success of the partnership. Christine’s experience backing countless young horses has made her an asset working with problematic situations. On the ground or in the saddle, lesson plans are personalized to accommodate each individual at all levels.

Currently Christine is focusing on her studies in Equine Behavior Science. Her passion for horses is only overshadowed by her pursuit to share it.
