About Us

International Equestrian Connections, LLC is dedicated to helping North Americans achieve their individual goals by providing them the resources to turn dreams into reality. We promote classical horsemanship in North America and make the German horse culture accessible for all North Americans by facilitating connections between both cultures.

Our president is Linda Christie, an American who has been involved in this exciting equestrian culture since 1995.

From the time she moved to Warendorf, Germany in December 2000, she has developed numerous good, long-lasting relationships and contacts within the horse community as a result of her work at the International Academy for Equestrian Studies. Warendorf is well known as the epicenter of the equestrian sport in Germany. It is home to the German Riding School, Westphalia's state stud, the Olympic training facility, and the German Equestrian Federation.

Linda has first-hand knowledge of the benefits for serious equestrians to be exposed to this competitive riding culture. She also knows how to navigate through challenges that can arise due to cultural differences and language barriers. She would like to share the knowledge she has gained over the last ten years with fellow North Americans and make their European equestrian trip a positive and memorable experience.
