At Rhinestar Performance Horses, we are fully dedicated to the horses we train and our equine owners.
We specialize in Western Pleasure training and Horsemanship for serious minded adults, amateur and youth. Our program begins with giving you the tools that bring you respect and trust with your equine partner. One of the most important elements we provide is our Natural Horsemanship training which teaches respect and helps to create a safe environment. Secondly, our trainers begin the riding process in order to get the horse to move the five main body parts and bring their training up to an intermediate level. Thirdly, we integrate you; giving you the ability to ride and move the five body parts. Finally, we also have the five C’s: building your Confidence, Correct balance, Coordination, Connection between horse and rider, and Communication skills you’ll need to properly ride.
We also work to develop and teach beginners and young children to be safe and confident riders. We have the background of being in 4-H from a young age to a young adult. We are very aware of the thought processes of children that want to learn and grow in this field. We are fully prepared for children and young adults that want to be able to take it to the next level and those that may even want to become trainers themselves.
We offer starting young horses from the ground up, and will provide the training to make a well broke horse, all the way to a completely finished horse. At Rhinestar, while your horse is in our training program, rest assured that they will receive the best possible care we can offer. We believe that, by treating your horses as athletes, their bodies demand a nutritionally balanced diet as well as a preventive health care program. We offer both nutrition and Chiropractic, Osteopath, Acupuncture and Equine massage from our veterinarian and equine health partners that are the very best in the industry.
We have the knowledge and experience of over 23 years of training horses and in showing as well. Our passion is training horses and teaching those who have the passion and desire to learn and grow with these magnificent animals.

We would love the opportunity to work with you and your equine partner to help you achieve your goals. Please call us for a free consultation and we would love to share with you what our program entails.... See More

"Born Broke"

(Natural Horsemanship by Kristina Louise Cragle)

Hello my name is Kristina I have been with horses most my life and now 33 years after meeting my first horse I have taken my relationship with them to a deeper level of understanding and compassion that has allowed me to communicate effectively with horses. As a trainer I believe laying a good foundation of understanding is key to success. To truly understand the horse in its entirety you must first accept him the way he truly is and always has been, as a "Horse." Once you reach this enlightenment and understand him as a whole in mind, body, and spirit then and only then do you have the foundation to effectively live with horses. 

I specialize in starting colts with a no-nonsense, respectful step by step approach stemming from the roots of Natural Horsemanship. I was trained by a apprentice of Tom Dorrance and pride myself on having the skills to successfully start and finish young horses to grow into clear-minded, respectful mannered safe riding horses ready for advanced training in any discipline. I do not break horses I teach them, after all who wants a broken horse? Lo

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read a bit about me and my concept, Happy Horsing and remember "Throw your Heart Forward first and your Horse will Follow."... See More
