Training and Showing
Hannah Echols and Virtue |
Alex Zachowski and Carayan Z |
At Four Seasons Farm, we approach the horse with its best interest in mind. We strive to create quality movement and jumping style while keeping the horse happy and comfortable with its job. We show at several levels, and we create individually-tailored programs to meet the needs of each rider and horse. We have barn competitions for the just-beginning rider. We compete on the local level with the Athens Area Hunter/Jumper Association and the Georgia Hunter/Jumper Association. We also compete at roughly 20-25 USEF 'A' and 'AA' rated shows throughout the year.
We are so proud of our successful and talented students. Click on the links below to see what they created;

She began competing at age 5 and has shown in many disciplines [e.g., jumpers, hunters, dressage, eventing, mounted games, saddleseat, western]. For several years, she competed at the USPC National Championships in Games and Show Jumping and graduated from pony club with a B ranking. She was a member of the 2002 USPC International Games Team, which competed in Great Britain. She was also on the team squad of the 2003 World Games team. She was very active in showing in the Jumpers at "AA"-rated shows and competed at the USEF Pony Finals in Pony Jumpers on her jumper pony, Indiana Jones.
Kristi is an experienced instructor and she brings a wealth of information to her students. She teaches students of all ages conducts individual and group lessons and encourages her students to compete at horse shows. Kristi has worked for several hunter/ jumper barns developing and building school programs from the ground up. She joined FSF in July 2010, and she has quickly developed a loyal following of students. Her kind and clear teaching style works for students of all levels and ages, and she is an excellent addition to the FSF team. Kristi also works tirelessly with the Morgan County and Athens Academy Equestrian teams, and she rides beautifully. She schools green and made horses, and the horses just love her!
