"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."
