Christy Berman has been riding since she was 10 years old. She started her junior career under Gincy Self Bucklin, well known trainer and author.  Christy showed in jumpers, 3-phase and hunters, as well as actively participating in competitive hunter pacing and fox hunting.  As a junior and into her beginning adult years, Christy taught lessons under Gincy Bucklin, beginner through advanced.  Christy believes in carefully teaching a proper balanced riding seat, giving the rider necessary confidence.  Christy has owned and sold several horses that have been quite successful in their fields.  


Christy believes that taking the time needed in the beginning is imperative for a rider's success long term and also the safety of the rider and horse.  She exhibits extreme patience as she helps her rider to develop a strong and solid "seat".  Her specialty is teaching her students to fully understand the "language" of the horse along with understanding the horses body language.
