Kristina has done a wonderful job at training Slinky and giving my daughter, Amanda, lessons.
Since we are new to the team, Amanda has had only a few lessons so far and she has learned so
much and has become a better rider in a very short time. Amanda actually smiles when she rides
which she never did before. Kristina gives her strict one on one time and takes the time to really
explain things to her so she knows exactly what to do with Slinky.

Hannah, our daughter found a love for horses at a very young age. She was 4 when she first rode. My wife and
I have never been huge horse people therefore finding someone to help us along and coach not only my
daughter, but us also, was very important. I first saw Kristina at a Westmoreland County 4H show working
with several kids. I noticed that all of her clients were very respectful along with winning several first places.
It was very important to us that Hannah learned the proper techniques and the proper skills in handling a
horse if she was going to be involved with these majestic animals.
Not only is Kristina teaching Hannah to become a very skilled rider, she is also teaching her how to be
respectful to others and all that she touches in this business. It is important for us to show her the right things
about not only riding, but in life. We have so much fun going to shows because it is all about a team effort. We
are proud to be a part of the KDS Performance Show Team and looking very forward to a great year in 2008. I
have been involved in many areas of sporting events in my life, but to see your own child winning at a National
Equine Event, well, there is no feeling like that in the world.
Prior to meeting Kristina, we showed the All American Youth Horse Show (Columbus, Ohio) 2 years in a row
and only brought home 1 ribbon. The first year we showed with Kristina, Hannah WON 3 classes and placed
in all of her eight classes including jumping. The next year she placed in the top five and won the Hunter
Under Saddle class there. Prior to that show Rebel didn’t have training in any English classes. Kristina
trained Rebel and Hannah so they could compete in those classes. Kristina is teaching her the skills to take her
straight to the top. We want you to always be a part of Hannah and her horse’s lives.......Our next goal is the
All American Quarter Horse Congress! Thanks so much Kristina for helping Hannah’s dreams come true!!!!!!!

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall."
Although we live 52 miles (one way) from Kristina, we trailer our horses in
for lessons on a weekly basis. Kristina’s lessons are worth the trip. She is
never rushed, and always takes her time with each lesson. It doesn’t take
her long to figure out each rider’s personality, and she finds what works for
each rider. She is in tune with each one of her clients as well as their horses.
Kristina has taught the kids more than just riding skills; she has taught
them how to train their horses. Her expectations are high and she is always
positive, even on the coldest of days. She gives the kids specific exercises to
work on each week, and is always monitoring their progress. We are so
excited to start this show season with this great coach and teacher.

We met Kristina Swank last summer at a horse show, and quickly noticed how
well she interacted with her show team. Our daughter, Hannah, met up with her
again at a horse camp, where Kristina was one of the instructors. Hannah came
home and couldn’t say enough good things about Kristina and what she had
learned. When Hannah qualified for the PA State Horse Show, we contacted
Kristina to get some lessons before the state show.
Although we only had time for about 4 or 5 lessons before the show, we could see a
difference in Hannah’s horse, Sherman. Hannah and Sherman placed 9th in the
state in Western Pleasure – Junior Rider. This was only Hannah’s first year
loping. Well, that was all we need to want to become a part of KDS Performance
Horses Show Team for 2008! Not only is Hannah on the team, but our other
children as well, Garett, Connor, Hannah, Marisa, and Alanna are all taking part
in what will be our best show season ever.

When we decided to put Ellie into training for a tune up, there was only one place to turn – KDS
Performance Horses. Kristina did a wonderful job with her, and addressed her problems. We just
brought her back home, and she is doing wonderfully. Her headset is solid, and her showmanship
has improved 100%. I would recommend Kristina as a trainer to anyone. Her knowledge is
unbelievable, and she is very patient. Kristina is a kind trainer who really likes the horses and
cares.
