About Me
My name is Christine Blackett and I currently own 3 horses. I have been riding and competing in dressage and jumping on and off for the past 13 years and I finally managed to buy my first horse in 2005. It was shortly after this that I learned about barefoot trimming through Equinextion.com and began trimming my own horses' hooves with the guidance and advice of Lisa Huhn. Over the years I have taken on a number of clients and am now responsible for the trims of approximately 90-100 horses each month.
In 2008 I qualified as an Equine Body Worker and have since completed and passed the Equine Body Worker Advanced Techniques Level 1 course. It is my plan to complete future courses through EquiworkSA and hopefully some day complete the hoof trimming courses which Equinextion.com offers in Canada.
Over the years, I have trained and worked with a number of horses competing in disciplines such as dressage, showjumping, polocrosse and racing. I particularly enjoy working with young horses or re-training older horses. My main interest is classical dressage and I enjoy and follow the work of Marijke de Jong and Bent Branderup. My instructor is Zaneta Georgiades (www.danceinfreedom.com) who has started me on my bitless/bridleless and saddle-less journey. Apart from my dressage and jumping interests, I have a large passion for transitioning Thoroughbreds off the track from their artificial lifestyle to a more "natural" lifestyle living outdoors in a herd.
