2006/2007 Brings A New Facility and a New Baby for Chrissa Hoffmann
By Jeannie Blancq Putney

Chrissa and her husband John have finished renovating their new farm, CFH Dressage LLC/ Glenfield Farm in Prospect, KY. The new facility includes a 10-stall training barn fully equipped along with a top quality indoor. Since moving to the new farm in June of 2006, Chrissa has wasted no time in filling all 10 stalls with training horses, two of her own and one sale horse, with a growing waiting list.

With a full list of clients and clinics, Chrissa has had to slightly slow down due to some exciting news that she and her husband are expecting a baby boy in May of 2007! “Sometimes I think I am crazy having a full barn, demanding training and clinic schedule all while being six months pregnant, but it’s my life and I love it!

I decided to stop riding at four months due to my husband’s request.” (John Hoffmann MD, a resident at the University of Louisville School of Medicine’s Radiology department). “We both felt that there was just too much at risk and being a doctor himself thought it was a wise decision to stop.

It was a VERY hard decision, and I was a bit worried about telling my clients, but they were all extremely supportive. I am so lucky to have such wonderful clients, because they continue to support me in every way possible, and many of them will make great baby sitters as well!”
