Christina was employed as my Horse Manager for five years, the relationship would have continued had I not sold my farm ceasing operations.  Her responsibilities were diverse and intense. Not only did Christina foal out the broodmares, but she was also the critical element of the foals early training. Concurrently she single handedly cared for 250 field board horses at any given time, over the years that translated to thousands of horses under her vigilant watch.  Clients raved about Christina’s horsemanship and caretaking skills developing a well-known reputation as the person and place to send valuable high performance level horses for time off after the season. I cannot think of many people that completely dedicated to the horses overall well-being and development.

We engaged CR Equine Solutions to provide an independent, objective assessment of our horse care practices and daily operations, with a primary focus on the welfare of the horses in our care. We intentionally provided very little direction so the evaluation would be unbiased and identify opportunities to improve both horse welfare and overall management.

CR Equine Solutions became actively involved in all aspects of daily horse care while carefully observing routines, horse behavior, and management practices. Their objective observations, detailed reports, and practical recommendations helped us identify and correct issues before they became larger concerns, improving both the health and welfare of our horses.

One of the greatest strengths of their assessment was their attention to each horse as an individual. In one instance, simply relocating a horse to a quieter stall significantly improved its behavior, demonstrating a thoughtful understanding of equine behavior, management, and welfare.

Their independent perspective, professionalism, and knowledge resulted in immediate improvements while helping us implement long-term management practices that continue to benefit our horses and our operation. We highly recommend CR Equine Solutions to horse owners, boarding facilities, breeding farms, and equestrian operations seeking an objective evaluation to improve horse care, management, and overall equine welfare.

As an equine veterinarian, working with a savvy horse person like Christina was priceless. Her attention to detail, knowledge base and medical skills are unmatched in the industry. Christina always cared for every horse on the farm as if it was her own, I can’t recommend her enough!
