    Christine Smith has more than 35 years of experience with horses and has been showing horses in-hand extensively since 1995.  She is available to show your fine horses in-hand all over the United States and many places abroad.  Traveling to events is more reasonable than you would expect. E-mail Christine with specific requests.

    Christine is also a USDF Certified Clinician for in-hand showing.  If you are interested in hosting a clinic, contact Christine.  Having her come to your location is surprisingly affordable.

Comments from some of her recent clinics include:

"Bring Christine back!!"

"Christine is a true professional in every way!!! The In-Hand clinic she conducted for the Kentucky Dressage Association had a lot of substance and received high praise from everyone who attended. She made everyone feel at ease by not rushing through each horse and she answered the group's questions as someone who had been in their shoes once. Keep up the good work Christine!!  We NEED more like you!!" 

"Christine has a lot of knowledge and has the ability to relate to people with all levels of experience.  She has a wonderful sense of humor and knows horses!!  I had a ball."

"I learned a lot, not just from my personal attention, but from everyone else's personalized attention."

"I thank you for a hugely successful in hand clinic... Christine was the perfect clinician - very kind and compassionate.  She developed a quick rapport with the audience.  With all the questions, one could tell the audience was truly engaged."

"Christine was exceptional.  Incredible amount of information for an in-hand clinic."
