Kirstin is the owner and operator of Prince Equestrian Sports, LLC located in Hilliard, FL. Kirstin grew up riding at her parent’s small boarding and lesson facility, Ki-lin Stables in Yulee, FL. She started competing in Dressage in 2002 at the age of 10 and started Eventing at the age of 14. Kirstin qualified and attended 5 Great American Insurance Group USDF Regional Championships from 2008 – 2013 in Training, First, Second and Third Level Dressage with three different horses. She has earned the Training level and First level rider performance awards and the USDF Bronze medal.
​
Kirstin has been teaching since 2008 and enjoys being able to share the knowledge she has gained over the years from hands-on experience growing up at a boarding / lesson facility. She took many lessons from multiple accomplished instructors throughout Florida and in 2010 was a working student for Michael Poulin in DeLand, FL (a 1992 team bronze-medal-winning Olympian) where she expanded her education.
​
After attending Florida State College at Jacksonville, graduating in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Kirstin established Prince Equestrian Sports, LLC. She began teaching lessons and training horses full-time. During this time Kirstin began schooling and competing at Fourth Level Dressage.
​
Kirstin considers like many things in life, the foundation is the key to success. Every horse and rider benefits from a Classical Dressage base and she works to prepare students for whatever discipline they wish to follow. Focus is placed on the biomechanics of horse and rider to create a rider that is easier for the horse to carry and a horse that is enjoyable for the rider to ride.
