Christine's training philosophy is strongly based in classical German methods.  She believes strongly in a solid foundation with excellent basics for the horse and rider. A rider's seat and position must be well developed in order to be most influential on the horse.  Christine uses basic exercises as building blocks to the more advanced movements. She enjoys preparing horses and students for the show arena, but mostly finds gratification in teaching students to understand concepts and mechanics of correct riding.  Christine believes that the student should leave a lesson or training session understanding the methods used to arrived at a certain place in the training.  Most importantly Christine trains all horses in a kind, clear and precise manner with the horse's health and safety as top priority.
