Christy Parker, Owner
Christy Parker is a life long resident of St Simons Island. She began riding at six with Amy & Marvin Long at Sea Island. At 12 she began competing at a higher level with Jimmy Glidewell Stables and earned championship titles at every major show in the Southeast in both equitation and performance. Obtaining degrees in Education and Psychology, she went to work for SunTrust Bank then Glynn Middle School in Brunswick, Ga. All the while Christy taught riding lessons out of a leased barn after school and on weekends. After ten years of teaching and hard work she was able to begin training fulltime and purchased a beautiful farm in west Glynn County with her husband, Eric.
Christy is a current Level 3 Certified Instructor, USEF Large R licensed judge in Saddle Seat Equitation, Saddlebred, Hackney and Roadster divisions plus a r licensed judge in Morgans. She was the Coach of the double gold winning 2019 USEF Young Riders Team and the gold medal winning 2017 USEF Young Riders Team. Two of her riders have also earned Gold Medals in International World Cup and Young Riders Competition. Two of her equitation riders have won the Adult USEF Equitation Final Bronze Medal and the SESHA Medallion Final Championship. Christy is on the ASHBA Board of Directors plus currently serves on several committees for USEF, UPHA, ASHBA and American Horse Council. She is the founder of Saddlebred Rescue which is now officially based out of NJ but a few rescues are always rehabilitating and utilized in the lesson program at Pine Haven. Giving back to the horse is her passion.
Pine Haven Stables is home to the best lesson horses in addition to our many show ring champions (plus two Sulcata Tortoises and a few goats!) but most importantly it is a fun, safe place for your horses and riders!
