Christina Levi is an instructor teaching hunt seat equitation and basic horsemanship to beginner, intermediate and advanced students. In the equine community however, she has worn many hats..  Through the years she has assisted equine veterinarians, has managed several barns, has coached for the Equine Special Olympics and has been an active participant of equine rescue to name a few.  In addition she as been no stranger to the show ring, as a rider, trainer and sometimes announcer.  Her insight of horse and rider can only be gained with her twenty plus years of experience.

Ultimately her passion for horses and special way with people has helped her create a signature style of instruction.  After having the opportunity to train along the east coast Highwind Farm is where she calls home.  Attributing to this fact is that their philosophies on horsemanship and hers are much the same.
