While there are many "natural" horsemanship trainers throughout Texas, Christi Rainss students have found her approach to teaching unique. She uses patience, encouragement, and a supportive attitude to help build confidence in both the horse and human. Her students go home with the tools they need to reach whatever horsemanship goals they may have, be that personal or professional. Christi is a Licensed 4-Star Parelli Instructor with over 13 years experience teaching Parelli Natural Horsemanship.

Christi has such a great way of teaching. She creates a calm and safe learning environment for everyone. I have great respect and admiration for her horsemanship, the caliber of which is not seen every day. Thank you Christi for sharing your gift! " Rebecca Gillman "Amazing......'How little does it take for me to send a message to my horse.' Thank you Christi. " Kathy Parker "I have seen the videos of Linda Parelli teaching rude reins vs. polite reins and a one rein stop and balance point on a barrel, but until I felt it, I could not completely appreciate and put it in my muscle memory. It had a huge impact on me and has changed my riding even after several years of studying Parelli. Thank you Christi. " Debra Saye "I wanted to say that the course Level 1 class
taught by Christi was more than I expected. Christi is so informative and so
helpful. She takes the time for each class member and has such patience and
highest knowledge about the horse. She and her husband made me feel so welcome
into their home. Pat and Linda are very fortunate to have Christi Rains as an
instructor under their name. She is amazing! I would suggest to anyone to take a
course from Christi. I know I plan to take as many as I possibly can. I saw an
immediate response from my horse and learned so much about myself. Thank you
Christi and C.R., you are both wonderful people!!! Blessings to you both." "Christi,
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this
weekend at the Partnership clinic, and how much I look forward to class #2.
Thanks for helping me realize that Denny lacks confidence rather
than just being stubborn. I really want to help him develop his
confidence and skills. I know he can learn; he is smart AND sweet.
I also want to overcome my own lack of confidence in my ability to help
him. Your classes this weekend really helped me see many things I
need to work on to help Denny. Your method of instructing is really
clear.
Thanks also to C.R. - every meal was GREAT. You
two made everyone feel totally at home and comfortable. Thanks for
opening your home to us."
Lynn Bettis "I would like to express my gratefulness to Pat
and Linda for this wonderful program. I have had the pleasure of a journey
for several years due to an abused little mare. "Thanks Christi for teaching me the skills and
knowledge to be in harmony with Patty. I do feel a new confidence in
where, when and how to be with her. It is exciting to think how refining
all this will feel. I am looking forward to continue to grow our
relationship. Thanks again not only for your teaching but your friendship!" "Thank you Christi for the Level 2 Trail Clinic! We had such a wonderful time. You helped each one of us set up our trail rides for success by your kind and compassionate teaching. Calm, responsive horses, on a beautiful day, with spectacular scenery--what more could you ask for?!" Heidi Lowthorp
"I would like to make some comments about Christi Rains, who has been my clinic trainer since my start in the Parelli program. I have gone to probably 6-8 clinics with her. She is such an incredible teacher!! She always has a plan and a focus. She is always sensitive to the overall level of the classes, in other words, she generally doesn't ask more than everyone in the class is able to do and then she will do some things to stretch us. she is patient with all, including the ones, like me, who don't have a clue when they first get started and sometimes still don't have a clue even after being in the program for several years. She also exhibits the what I call "true teacher" factor, which is the concern for each students progress in the program."
Sincerely,
"I just wanted to send a quick note thanking you for such great instructors. I recently participated in a Christi Rains Liberty clinic and had a wonderful time. The participants ranged from those just beginning their Liberty to those currently studying level three Liberty and Christi was wonderful with each of us. She pointed out some things to me that seem so small, but are actually HUGE, such as body position, and knowing when to be, where to be, why to be, and what to do when you get there... and what a difference it makes when communicating with my horse! She is so knowledgeable and such a good teacher, and we all learned so much from her. I'm so excited to continue my journey through the program." Shannon Byrne and Scout |
