Christina Tyson

Christina has ridden since age 8 when she was given her first horse for her birthday.  Since then, horses have been an ongoing passion.  She was trained by the world-renowned Helen Crabtree in Saddleseat equitation.  Christina showed and won nationally on both three and five gaited American Saddlebreds. 

Christina has been giving lessons in hunt seat, saddleseat and western pleasure for over 6 years.  Her philosophy is that all riders need a good balanced seat, and should have fun while learning to ride.  Whether you are a beginner, or more advanced, young or old, Christina will individualize her lessons to meet your needs. 

All lessons are individual and are $40 per hour.  For more information, please email Christina at tysonc@hpw.com or call, 919-413-2480.
