Chris Stanko learned about Working Equitation in 2008 and was captured by the spirit of the sport. Chris has been teaching and training for over 40 years, and working as a clinician for 17 yrs. She teaches Working Equitation, In-hand work, Classical Horsemanship, the Art of Garrocha, Western Dressage, all with the correct biomechanics for horse and rider. She has competed in L5 and trained all the masters movements.
Chris has organized every aspect of WE shows and clinics and has designed many courses and teaches clinics all over Colorado. She thinks Working Equitation is the best cross training for any horse in any discipline. Chris believes you should take it slow and train in an excepting relaxed way and not rush any training. Her approach is teaching in a positive and relaxed manner, one that is supportive rather than intimidating for both the horse and rider. She says relaxation is the key to riding WE with finesse and grace.
Chris Stanko believes Working Equitation takes a strong partnership and foundation. She is a forever student of the horse and continues her own equine educational journey.
Chris Stanko is available to travel for private lessons and clinics, as well as teaching at her home barn.
