About Christi & The Morse Code of Horse Riding

For too long, riders have been taught to focus on controlling the horse rather than communicating with them. Traditional riding methods often rely on force, misinterpretation, and mechanics that overlook the horse’s natural movement and comfort. But what if there was a better way?

Christi brings decades of experience in riding instruction, equine behavior, and biomechanics—along with a relentless commitment to doing right by the horse. She developed The Morse Code of Horse Riding to bridge the gap between what riders think they’re communicating and what their horses actually feel.

The transformation she’s witnessed isn’t just about better riding—it’s about better understanding. Riders learn to communicate with clarity, and in turn, horses respond with relaxation, willingness, and fluidity. Their movement changes. Their confidence grows. Their entire expression softens.

This isn’t just a riding course or a book—it’s a movement toward something better. Christi has seen it firsthand, time and again. Now, she’s making it accessible to riders everywhere.

If you’ve ever felt like there was something missing in your riding, or that your horse wants to understand but just isn’t getting the message, then you’re in the right place.

The Morse Code of Horse Riding isn’t about forcing horses into submission. It’s about unlocking a language they already understand—and finally riding in a way that feels effortless, intuitive, and in true partnership.

What Makes This Different?

  • Your seat bones are communication central—this course teaches you how to use them effectively.

  • No more kicking and pulling—learn to guide your horse with subtlety and balance.

  • Built on science, biomechanics, and the way horses naturally communicate—not tradition or gimmicks.

Whether you're a beginner looking for a solid foundation or an experienced rider wanting to refine your skills, this program offers the missing piece of the puzzle—riding that finally makes sense, for both you and your horse.

    I know what it’s like to feel frustrated in the saddle, to sense that something is missing in traditional instruction. That’s why I created this program—to take the mystery out of natural aids and put riders back in control of their own progress. Let’s decode the language of riding together.
