Christa TurelBiography
From as early as I can remember I have had an all consuming passion for horses! I grew up riding english and spent my youth showing in pony club and dressage. Later, I was given my first opportunity to experience a slide on a reining horse and that was it! I was hooked! I have spent the last 9 years learning everything I can about training and riding these spectacular athletes!
I currently reside at and manage Twin Valley Stables west of Calgary, ALberta with my husband, Rocky Turel. Rocky is a certified farrier and together we operate our business as CR Equnie Services.

Training Philosophy
I absolutely love starting the colts from the ground up and turning them into show horses who are sound physically and mentally. I believe each horse needs to be brought along at their own pace and devote the time neded to each as an individual. There is nothing I love more than seeing a horse that I started years ago still showing strong and enjoying their job. I also believe in focusing strongly on rider equitation and horsemanship so they can be efective riders and partners in and out of the showring.
