Becca Desper & "Corona Light"
Becca has been riding with Christan since she was a kid. Corona Light, or JJ, came to Christan to be sold in 2006, and Becca began riding him and bought him. JJ, a 14.3 paint, was found on a killer's truck in eastern NC, and rescued before becoming an event horse. In 2007, Becca and JJ won the Lumber River HT and the NCDCTA HT at the Fork, as well as placing at all the other events they entered. They are currently competing at Training level.

Liana started riding with Christan this year and has progressed to the Novice level, winning the Pinehurst HT in the fall of 2008.
Jennifer Shattuck & "Osaka"
Christan will be competing Osaka at training level this spring for Jennifer. Jennifer bought Osaka as a green mount and has quickly progressed up the levels.
Margaret started riding with Christan in the spring of 2008. In just a short period of time, Margaret went from scoring in the mid to low 30s with Echo, to winning both the Fence HT and the Ark HT this fall with scores of 26 and 23...the overall low score for each event!
