Meet Chrystal owner and instructor! Chrystal has been riding since she was 6 and showing since she was 8. Her competition career began in hunter and open shows and moved to eventing and dressage as she progressed at her riding and horsemanship skills. Competed thru Training Level eventing very successfully with Ghost Rider and even schooled Pre-Lim. After Ghost went on to teach his next Rider Chrystal concentrated more on dressage and bring along young horses as well as re-training numerous ones over the years. Chrystal has trained with Olympic riders and couches over the years and continues to take lessons to improve her understanding of the horses and her skills as an instructor. We offer a variety of lesson options from the beginner thru more advanced riders. References available.
