About Christi Rains

Christi Rains (CR2) is a native Texan with the proverbial appetite and aptitude for learning.   In this case, horsemanship, which began at age six with playdays.  She progressed through barrel racing, hunter, trail, endurance, dressage and western pleasure, in which she won two national championships and two Region 9 (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana & Arkansas) championships;  then on to Natural!  

 

 

Parelli Natural Horsemanship

Most specifically, Parelli Natural Horse-Man-Ship (PNH), in which she achieved Level 3 and has been an instructor licensed by her teacher, Pat Parelli, since 1998.   Though CR2 has also ridden with Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, David O'Connor, Craig Johnson and Jack Brainard, she is most impressed with the step-by-step progression of the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Program that Pat and Linda Parelli have organized and supplemented with videos, audios, and lesson booklets.   The Parelli Levels Program is similar to the "belts" system in karate.   

 

 

Natural Horsemanship In Texas

CR2 and her husband, C.R., share "Sundowner Krantz", a half-mile stretch along the banks of the Brazos River with their bird dog, Shane. Just 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth, Texas, where they are completing her training center.  

It's a place in the Texas sun to prep for Natural Horsemanship, Parelli-style.  Christi teaches Levels 1-3 in person and through video coaching.   Remember her saying...

"The more I learn, the smarter my horse gets!"
