Chrissa was interviewed by the USDF Connection about training "non traditional" breeds in Dressage. Harry Callahan is the first-ever American Saddlebred to appear on the cover of the Connection.

“I am really enjoying riding these breeds,” said Chrissa, “because today, I truly believe in the individual, and not the breed is capable of success in the dressage arena.” With the Morgan Dancity Savoir Faire’s introduction to Robert Dover and the Saddlebred, Harry Callahan's success with the USDF Connection article, Chrissa Hoffmann has set a pioneering path for both breeds.
