   Cristen is a fabulous trainer. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her training my child. Cristen is moving my child along at a really good pace. I never feel like my child is pressed to ride above her ability. Cristen has a great way of moving my child forward so that she is progressing well. Cristen is patient and kind and also has high expectations for riders. Safety is a top priority. Cristen communicates well with my child and me. I highly recommend Cristen as a trainer.

   How could I possibly give Cristen enough praise in a single post? I’ve been riding with her for a bit over two years, and every day, she offers new information, new skills, new techniques, new advice. She has worked with me from leasing to horse ownership, committing her time to help me make exactly the right decision. I grow every week with her, and feel so much purpose in my riding.

   I cannot recommend Cristen enough! She has brought me along to a new level in my riding. She personalizes her training to the rider and listens carefully to my goals and needs. She also helped me buy my first horse and has been an invaluable resource to us both. I trust her implicitly with my horse and my safety. She puts her all into every lesson. She has a wealth of experience. Her barn is a beautiful facility with the highest level of lesson horses I have ever met. They are well cared for and there are horses from your classic lesson pony for beginner riders to advanced horses for riders looking to move up.

   You could not ask for a better trainer for yourself or your child!

   My daughter and I have both been taking lessons with Cristen for about two years now. Cristen prioritizes the well-being of both the horses and riders and always puts safety first. She does a truly exceptional job of adapting her instruction and the pace of her lessons to her individual students. She is patient and effective with students who want to feel really secure before moving on to the next challenges in their riding, but also knows when to push her students to ensure that they are always learning and growing. Not only is Cristen an excellent instructor for riders at a wide variety of levels, she is also a truly kind and caring person who is lovely to work with. I would absolutely recommend Cristen for anyone looking for an oustanding riding instructor.

   I’m a 68 year old grandpa that decided to take up riding lessons. Cristen has been fantastic at helping me get started and progressing in this sport, pairing me with the right horse and being very patient and direct with my training. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to start or continue riding lessons.
