About Us

Kristen Guadagnino had her first pony ride before she could walk and her first pony at the age of three.
A veteran of Tolland County Equestrians 4-H and "B" graduate of Glastonbury Pony Club, Kristen obtained
instilled values of education and respect for horses.

After completing a BS in Equine Science from the University of Connecticut,
Kristen moved on to showing exclusively on the "A" circuit for several years and
then became a professional specializing in Hunters and Jumpers. As well as
serving on the CHSA Board of Directors for 7 years and the NEHC Board of
Delegates, she also holds a USEF "r" license in Hunters/Equitation and Jumpers
as well as a NEHC stewards license.

Although Kristen is a motivated show rider, she greatly enjoys teaching
and helping riders to develop a feel, understanding and respect for horses.

Aside from her passion for competition in the show ring, Kristen is
dedicated to the mental and physical care of her retired horses.
