Hunter Jumper Training in Bastrop, Texas (Bastrop County)

Freelance Trainer with over 20 years experience, looking for a few (more!) good horses for training, showing, and consignments. I have -and still-train with several Olympic, Top National, and Record Holding trainers in the hunter jumper industry, and pass the training I've received from them, and from sheer experience on to my horses, riders, and owners. Outside of the H/J arena I have also gained experience in dressage, combined training, barrel racing, western pleasure, natural horsemanship (John Lyons), and ALL gaited breeds from Paso finos to Tennessee Walkers. I also specialize in breaking horses, as well as starting, and REstarting young, green, OTTBs/Off the Track, and hot or "problem" horses. I've been working horses that fall into those categories for almost 15 years now, and I use calm, effective, proven methods to give your horse the best start, or restart possible, regardless what their future discipline may be. I've started Grand Prix Jumpers, to Barrel winners, to perfect trail companions. Several horses that I've owned/trained, as well as myself, have been featured in several magazines such as Practical Horseman (pictured below, I started that horses career), Stable Management, and Chronicle of the Horse.

Showing is available for local and "A" circuit showing. I hold memberships with the United States Equestrian Federation as well as the Central Texas Hunter Jumper Association. I am also available for Playdays and Barrel Races. Whether you need your greenie to get out there and get some miles, or you want your packer campaigned, you've found the person to help! I've won several year end champions and reserves (as have my students), and have ribboned and/or competed at the Devon Horse Show, HITS Catskills, HITS Culpepper, HITS Ocala, and more. Interested in getting national exposure at some of the nicest shows in the country? Talk to me about my 2013 East Coast show tour.

Christine’s passion for riding was born when she was three years old and first sat on a horse. She recently relocated from Southern California and is further pursuing her equestrian goals both as a rider and a trainer. Christine has had the privilege of working with elite Jumping and Dressage instructors such as George Morris, Kevin McGinn, Liz Denny, Pam Grace, Jan Ebeling, Steffan Peters and most closely Jason McAfee and many others. She has competed successfully both in local circuits and “AA” shows all over the west coast. In addition to furthering her own knowledge, her ambition is to become a successful International competitor.

Christine believes that going back to the basics, and focusing on creating a solid foundation is what forms successful equestrian athletes.

“My goal as a trainer is to create intuitive, relaxed, and confident riders, who dedicate themselves to fine tuning the details. They do so with the understanding that the silent partnership between horse and rider is a process. Patience and finesse is key in accomplishing any task from beginner to advanced riders!”

She is grateful for the opportunities that she’s had to work with some incredible mentors and trainers, and is excited to pass the valuable knowledge and passion along to other equine enthusiasts. Above all her goal is for both horse and rider is to educate and most importantly have fun!

In addition, Christine is a USDF (United States Dressage Federation) Bronze Medalist. She is also participating in the new USHJA Trainer Certification process, becoming nationally recognized for her accomplishments and involvement with the United States Hunter Jumper Association!... See More
