Christina Rizzutto, Riding Instructor: Christina’s background includes the many aspects of re-schooling horses for their second careers, with specific experience with OTTB’s. Lots of trail riding…How do you negotiate fallen logs, a wide creek, or low branches? Can you do more than just walk on trail rides? (who knew there could be more fun & challenge to it than just following the horse in front of you?) Teaches balanced seat riding and effective use of natural aids to build a strong foundation for any discipline. Special interest in introducing children and adults to riding as well as those who are looking for a “refresher” course or have specific fears to overcome. Riding is an excellent way to build core muscle strength and flexibility! Not to mention a great way to reduce stress.
