Cristin Kyle is a Master Certified Natural Horsemanship Trainer, certified by Ken McNabb Horsemanship, who believes in building trust, respect, and confidence in both horses and riders. Teaching how to build a better relationship is the foundation of her training methods. From the ground up through the saddle, she strongly believes this is the basis of safety with horses. Working with horses and p

eople from any discipline, she believes that your saddle choice should not change the core of your training nor should it affect your relationship with your horse. This is how she came to name her business Stable Relationships. Cristin believes in continuous learning, from professionals and students. Each horse has something to contribute as well, as they are our best teachers. She understands and respects that both you and your horse are individuals and should be treated as such. In her opinion there is no ‘cookie-cutter’ method for every individual or horses or ‘30 day miracles’. Cristin helps riders learn to better read their horses on the ground, from head to tail – there is a lot to be said in their expressions alone. This transfers to saddle work as well, and helps build a more responsive horse. She also teaches riders to feel their subtle movements as often as possible to create a better release point, horses learn from the release of pressure and riders should learn to give to a horse as quickly as possible. Breaking down the more complicated tasks for you and your horse to bring it back to a place where you both can be successful, are the building blocks for success. Cristin wants you to leave feeling better about yourself, your horse, and both of your abilities combined, whether it is through her training, a clinic or a riding lesson on one of her horses. Cristin is based in a beautiful horse region, Summerfield, North Carolina with easy access to the Triad and surrounding areas. She is very willing to travel further if that means helping you!

We are so very excited to share some exciting news regarding the restart of our North Carolina Western Dressage Affiliate! With western dressage rapidly growing in our state, we feel it is time to have our own organization to represent USEF's fastest growing discipline.

What are some of your favorite things about western dressage? Comment below with a short story of why you love western dressage and your favorite western dressage picture for a chance to be featured!

This opportunity is available for 2025!

Stable Relationships has some onsite lease horses available in Madison, NC. Leases come with lessons, access to our outdoor dressage arena, round pen, trails, and obstacles! The horses vary in what they need, but we would prefer to find at minimum advanced beginners to intermediate riders. More advanced riders are welcome as well! There is potential for attending local shows, potentially Western Dressage Worlds (and out-of-state WD shows) if desired, obstacle competitions, and access to additional opportunities as well! These include but are not limited to outside-approved trainers, clinics, and more!

Additionally, our clients have available equines for lease, some on our farm and others off-property.

The farm is a small and quiet facility with no drama and we look forward to keeping it that way and adding some barn family members! The potential to work off some extra riding is available to the right person.

There is the possibility of just groundwork and grooming leases if desired! Or if you want to learn more about horse care that can also be arranged.

Yes, we should actually cheer one another on matter if they are fellow competitors or from different barn!

It’s officially horse show season - just a quick reminder to support your horse girl gang. Supporting the wins your fellow horse girls earn won’t ever take away the wins you earn this season 🌹

For anyone interested, Deb was kind enough to make a code for me to share with all my clients and friends! We use her nets in all of our stalls and many of our shelters and have the trailer ones as they are easy to fill and use, hold plenty of hay, and are durable and portable as well!

I cannot recommend these hay nets enough to anyone needing a great option!

This is so important, it’s all a journey, celebrate all the wins!

It could be your horse spent quality time with you in the pasture, your horse walked in without being pushy, your horse tied well, you went to your first show, you went to a big show and did well, you hauled your horse for the first time, etc. I hope you can enjoy each moment!

We need more of those horse girls, the days are hard 🖤

UPDATE: Many of you are unaware but when I made that post my Grandma was in and out of the hospital three times throughout January, with the last visit leaving us with a terrible update of the need for hospice and a very short expected time it would be needed. Since then we have been doing better than expected, but still not well, we are nearing the end and I would so appreciate your show of continued grace through this difficult time. I will be scheduling clinics again in the future, attending horse shows and all of the things, however for now I am one of Mary’s primary caregivers and will continue to do so for as long as needed.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding, and for those of you who have truly been there for me lately, I cannot thank you enough.

I'm going to make a more personal post than I normally do, but it is needed to share. Many of you have been lucky enough to meet my Grandma, Mary! Mary is currently in need of some prayer warriors and good thoughts. Most of you are unaware that when we returned from Western Dressage Worlds in 2023 she was hospitalized due to a blockage caused by stage 4 cancer, needless to say, things are acting up at the moment.

My Grandma is tied for my number one supporter (she and my mom share that position). She is also the heart and soul of the family in many ways. There are truly no words that can express what she means to me, let alone my family. So if you all would be so kind as to show some grace in my response times to texts, calls, messages, and emails at this time it would be appreciated.
