Christina has
been riding, training and breeding horses since 1992, and has a gift for working with sensitive and hot horses
that have been deemed unsuitable for other riders. Christina
competed with many such horses on both the Central Western Trillium Hunter Circuit,
and the National A Circuit. Her accomplishments include 5th
overall out of nearly 50 competitors in the 1994 Trillium Children's
Hunter division, and several wins at the National level in the lower
jumping classes.
Christina
continues to train and bring along many young and made horses
including her 1.30m jumper, Travola (2000),
as well as her up-and-coming hunter prospect, Cirque du Soleil
(2009). She prides herself on her subtle and patient riding
style and ensures that her horses have a basis in
dressage prior to starting any jumping to assist with
engagement and suppleness.

Christina
is an entrepreneur who embraces a collaborative and
open-minded approach when it comes to horse training,
management and care, and continually strives to improve
her knowledge and skills. Respectful of all
disciplines, Christina accommodates a variety of
equestrian training and management philosophies and
practices. Christina has always appreciated the
uniqueness and quirks of each equine individual and
believes each and every horse at Keurwood is special and
should be treated as such.
Christina
has a degree in Biomedical Sciences and focused on
animal genetics, immunology, nutrition and
physiology. Christina has also furthered her
academic training in equine nutrition, stallion/mare
management and breeding management with renowned
veterinarians at Ohio State University, and has provided
strategic consulting to Gencor's (now EastGen) equine
breeding department. Christina
spent 10 years in the pharmaceutical industry in senior
management positions prior to the inception of Keurwood
Equestrian. Christina now enjoys the peace and
tranquility of the country with her children and
her supportive husband, as well as her continuing
education opportunities with Omega
Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. as an Education
Consultant with specific focus on
equine natural health products.
