“Christina is a very focused and determined young lady. I have watched and worked with her for several years. Not only has she developed as a rider but also as an ambassador for the young riders in our sport. She is an extremely talented rider but talent alone will not make you successful. It takes hard work and long hours to become successful. I am so impressed with her dedication; it is not easy to accomplish what she has especially while going to school. I feel very strongly that Christina is going to be one of the US top riders in the very near future.”
– Debbie McDonald, U.S. Olympian

“I cannot compliment enough how well prepared Christina is in her seat, her attitude, her overall riding level and her presentation of the horse. She is the most talented rider I have ever worked with. She is mentally and physically prepared for the rigors of international competition at the highest level.”

– Guenter Seidel, Three Time U.S. Olympian

“Christina sits beautifully on the horse. She has daily training which emphasizes proper dressage. We [U.S.] need to keep this rider on the best horses, as Christina is a classically trained, and a beautiful rider who should be representing the U.S. She is the future of dressage for the U.S.”

– Klaus Balkenhol, USET Dressage Coach

“Christina represents the future of dressage and her example has already raised the level of riding in our country among both its youth and among those continuing on in the sport as young adults. I am confident with her athletic ability, her experience and her commitment to the horse and the sport of dressage that she will be involved and giving back to this sport for many years.”

– Steffen Peters, U.S. Olympian

“Christina exudes cool confidence in her riding. The experience and maturity of her riding and attitude towards horses and competition separates her from others. Christina is very settled and confident in her riding.”

– Gary Rockwell, FEI ‘O’ Judge

“I have had the pleasure of watching Christina grow her equestrian skills from her Junior years through her very successful Young Rider years to now her life as a young adult in the Dressage world. Christina has always been very driven to learn, and was never overly impressed with her own many accomplishments. This attitude will serve her well in her quest to rise to the top of her profession as a rider. She has “the right stuff” and I wish her well.”

– Axel Steiner, FEI ‘O’ Judge

“I believe that Christina is the finest and best prepared up-and-coming Olympic caliber rider that our country has right now. I would choose her to start my own top horses for me.”

– Donna Richardson, U.S. Pan Am Gold Medalist, and FEI ‘S’ Judge
