Chrissy has been riding Hunter/Jumpers for 34 years and training horses for 24 years; Specializing in starting young horses and getting them ready to shine in the A circuit ring. She has competitively shown A circuit herself including showing at the Royal Winter Fair.
Chrissy believes in a strong flat work base and riding classically. Knowing a good rider is a good rider no matter what discipline they are in, and always able to explain things in fun, and easy way when teaching. Chrissy has also been a hunter/jumper judge for past 16yrs and passes that knowledge along in her teaching.
We are excited to announce a lesson series where riders commit to all 4 of the dates and each lesson works on building from the last. Lessons are 1.5hrs long with groups of 3 or 4. Groups would be built off of riders' & horse experience and you would have the same group for each lesson.
