Our Trainers

Meet Philine—our head trainer whose journey spans continents, disciplines, and some of the most respected barns in the industry. 

Originally from the Netherlands, she built her foundation through hands‑on experience at top programs: from a Grand Prix Dressage barn where she trained her own horse to shine in both dressage and jumping, to Ocala’s competitive hunter/jumper scene, to WEC working alongside a Pan‑American Games rider. 

Her path from working student to assistant trainer to barn manager shaped the knowledgeable, grounded horsewoman she is today.

Now, she’s found her place at Eclipse Training & Trails here in Orlando. What inspires her most is the heart of our riders and horses—their potential, their willingness, and their drive to grow. Philine believes in simple changes that create big results, and in offering the soft, steady support riders need to feel confident every step of the way. 

With a team she trusts and a barn she loves, she’s proud to call Eclipse home. 🖤🌙 

Meet Krisi — our calm, confidence‑building instructor with 12 years of experience in the hunter & jumper rings. 

She’s all about strong foundations, balance work, and helping riders feel steady, supported, and seen in the saddle. Krisi has worked with students of all ages and abilities, but she truly shines with anxious or low‑confidence riders who need a gentler, more compassionate approach.

💛 She creates a no‑judgment space where every question is welcome and every goal is achievable.  Whether you’re an AA starting a new hobby, getting back in the saddle after years away, or simply looking for a trainer who leads with kindness — Krisi is the one you want in your corner.
