Kristin Bowers has been involved with horses most all of her life. Starting lessons at the age of 5, as a youth she took english hunter/jumper lessons and was active in her local (western) 4H group. She started competing locally at age 10 and went on to compete for her university in IHSA (English). During her Junior and Senior years of college she captained the team. While is school she ran the ki

ds lesson program at a local working cattle and guest ranch, teaching kids the basics of riding in a western saddle. After college Kristin went on to learn how to re-train Thoroughbred ex-racehorses in Dressage fundamentals and Jumping, where she also taught beginner English lessons under her trainer. Kristin has always had a passion for teaching kids (and adults) the fundamentals of riding and feels strongly that kids should have the opportunity to learn the basics of caring for a horse and try both English and Western riding, building a strong foundation, before deciding on the discipline for them. Along with teaching, Kristin competes in Cowboy Dressage with her Mustang, Coal, and her lesson horse, Cedar.
