Ms.Crystal has been instructing students on how to ride horses since the summer of 1996. Her natural passion and love for horses has inspired many and started for her as a young girl in summer riding camps. "I remember being a little girl and holding the reins while looking up into those big brown eyes. My horse would breathe on me with his big nostrils and nibble on my golden hair. But for me, he
would become my dream and my destiny. His name was Dr.Spock and he had a split in his ear that had healed from an old injury. We received two 1st place ribbons together in our end of the week summer horse show. Looking back on it now, I should really say that Dr. Spock received two blue ribbons as he carried me on his back! I drew pictures of him through out the year time and waited anxiously for the next summer to ride him again. I rode him for two summers and would never forget him. He was very special to me. Not, because we won ribbons but because he was my first horse and was so unique. No other horse had a split in their ear like him. He was a survivor, a soldier, a bold, inquisitive, and brave being! After that, I compared every other horse to him just to see if they could size up. I believe that to be true for most riders of all ages. When you find that special first love horse, all others will be a comparison. I have ridden many horses since then. Many of them gone, yet a lot of them still here. All of them have a special place in my heart forever. Riding is what I do, passion is what I believe in. If you have passion in what you do, that love will follow you everywhere you go!"
