Kristin Posner

Kristin is a senior at Georgetown College where she is pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Athletic Training with a minor in Psychology. Her plan is to go to graduate school upon graduation from Georgetown. She is currently applying to several graduate schools for Sports Nutrition Science. She has several avid hobbies in addition to Dressage. Some of those being: ballroom dancing, singing, running 5K's, sports and being around her family and horses.

Kristin has had an eye for Dressage ever since she was little. She has been riding her entire life, or as her mother, Susan would say, “Before she was born.” She trained her first horse through Third Level. He was retired in 2004 after winning the 2003 ABIC/USDF Region 2 Championships. Shortly after he was retired in 2004 she began to help ride her mother’s horse, Touchée, due to a bad car accident two weeks before a big horse show and since then has continued to ride and help train her. In 2004 Kristin was showing her at Third Level and earned her USDF Bronze Medal. In 2005 Touchée was given some time off to have a foal but in the fall of 2005 was back showing. She was able to show her at Fourth Level in 2006 and worked through to Prix St Georges that fall.  In 2007 they earned several Prix St Georges wins as well as Prix St Georges freestyle wins. Kristin also received her USDF Silver Medal in 2007. She was the United States Dressage Federation’s Youth Volunteer of the Year for 2007. In the fall of 2008 she began to show Touchée Intermediare I in the quest of getting her USDF Gold Medal. Kristin is currently in need of her two Grand Prix scores for her Gold Medal. She is currently riding and showing several horses out of Haylands Inc. in Lexington, Kentucky.

Kristin has ridden with all kinds of different people including: her mom, Hilda Gurney, Steffan Peters, Sue Blinks, and George Williams.
