Kristina trains based on the Natural Horsemanship philosophy.  Horses are a social herd animal with a highly developed communication system based primarily on body language. The basis of Natural Horsemanship is to use body language along with pressure and release techniques to communicate with the horse in order to achieve the desired results.  Kristina has worked extensively with Marion Weisskopff, an experienced Natural Horsemanship trainer and clinician to achieve the necessary technique and experience to be a successful trainer.

Kristina has assisted many clients reach their goals in training and understanding their horses. She has a gentle touch, firm expectations when needed, and possesses the extreme patience necessary when dealing with horses. She will assist you in understanding the process and steps necessary to get you and your horse to where you want to be.

Training can be done on-site as we have access to a year-round sand footing ring as well as an advanced trail network. Kristina will also make barn visits to suite your training needs. She has regular clients everywhere from Sooke to the Saanich Peninsula as well as the Cobble Hill, Duncan, Ladysmith and Nanaimo areas so do not hesitate to inquire on services outside the Greater Victoria area.

She has taught Natural Horsemanship clinic's in Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo and Denman Island.
