Kristin was born in 1983 in New Jersey where she has remained to operate her business as
     a professional eventer and horseman. She began riding at the age of 5 and was bitten by
     the "eventing bug" by the age of 12. Her love of horses and the sport of eventing grew
     quickly into a passion that would eventually shape into a successful professional career.
                She has been very lucky from an early age to have trained with some of the best
                          coaches the equine world has to offer, including long time trainer and friend,
                              Marilyn Payne (world renown judge and official who will be officiating the
                               2008 Olympic Games in Bejing).

                               By age 18, Kristin had completed her first CCI** at Radnor Hunt
                                 International finishing in the top 10! She then decided that this was
                                  only the beginning of the International career that she wanted, and
                                   made the choice to head for sunnier climates that winter to train
                                    for her move up to the Advanced level. She went to work with
                                    Barcelona Olympic Team member, Stephen Bradley, and Olympic
                                     eventing legend, Denny Emerson.

                                      In 2003, at the age of 20, Kristin completed a very successful year
                                      at the highest levels of the sport. Including two CCI*** three-day
                                      events—Foxhall Three-day (finishing 17th out of more than 90
                                      starters) and Fair Hill International (finishing 2nd to US Olympic
                                    rider Karen O’Conner)—where she was the top placing Young Rider at
                                  both, receiving the United States Equestrian Team’s Markham Trophy,
                                twice! Kristin was awarded the USET Amanda Warrington Fund Grant.
                              This is a training grant in memory of Amanda Warrington, a wonderful rider
                               who was always an inspiration to Kristin growing up. Kristin was also a
                                member of the gold medal winning team and the individual silver medalist
                                  at the North American Young Rider Championships held at Bromont in
                                    Canada. Kristin was awarded the prestigious title of being named the
                                     United States Eventing Association’s Young Rider of the Year for 2003.

                                         Kristin was just getting started. With a string of very talented
                                              horses, and quite a few young prospects to bring up the levels,
                                                she continued success in 2004 with many top placings at all
                                                 levels. She was awarded the Lionel Guerrand-Hermes
                                                      Memorial Trophy. This award is presented each year to
                                                       a Young Rider, age 16-21 who best exemplifies the ideals
                                                         of horsemanship and sportsmanship.

                                                              Kristin’s achievements were noticed by the US
                                                               Equestrian Team, and she has twice been named
                                                               to the training list. As a result, she has been able to
                                                               work with the United States Team chef d'equippe,
                                                               Captain Mark Phillips. By 2005, Kristin was aiming
                                                               at her first CCI**** event at Rolex Kentucky. She
                                                                prepared herself for this big step in her career by
                                                              training with Olympic silver medalist, Kim Severson.
                                                              Not only did she complete beautifully, but finished in
                                                               12th place Internationally and 7th Nationally!

                                                               At this point, Kristin was starting to develop a
                                                               growing business for herself along with an
                                                              accomplished competition career. Kristin and her
                                                               family then found a piece of property in lovely
                                                              Tewksbury, New Jersey, where they would build their
                                                                very own farm from scratch. Now with a facility to
                                                                  build, business to maintain and a vigorous
                                                                  competition schedule, life remains challenging
                                                                   but above all, fun.
