MEET OUR TRAINER

Christina Scott

Christina “Chrisi” Scott’s love affair with horses began at a very early age with Classical/English Dressage and Hunters. She has been fortunate enough to experience many different equestrian disciplines over the years and most recently Western Dressage. 

Her instructor/trainer career began consistently in 2011. She has taught many through the years, from the ground up, ranging from the ages of 2 to adults. She focuses on natural horsemanship, proper technique, the communication between horse and rider, and most importantly confidence building for both! Her clients have earned many blue ribbons, High Point/Score Awards, and Championships. See our Show page for more details.
