Chris Hoffman
Equine Programs Director
Chris Hoffman is a life-long horsewoman who has been professionally immersed in the equine world for over 25 years. Her range of experience spans from elite competition horses and their riders, to dude ranch retreats in beautiful rustic country settings; serving as a highly sought after lesson horse programs instuctor, summer and specialty horse camp facilitator, workshops and equine-facilitated retreat director, advanced instructor in natural horsemanship clinics, and complex equine facilities management.
Chris is the Equine Programs Director of Chiron's Still Standing equine programs, specializing in serving first responders and their families. As a certified Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (www.EAGALA.org) Equine Specialist since 2011, her work continues to nurture human-equine interactions in service of the innate potential to discover powerful solutions and meaningful connections through experiential, equine-based activities. Foundational respect for the horse as partner, deep patience, a hearty sense of humor, and unbridled passion guide her work as a facilitator; and her extensive training in Critical Incident Stress Management and Peer Support helps her to better understand and serve those in public safety.
In addition to her work with Chiron, Chris and her true cowboy husband, Mike, ethically raise and sell their award winning pasture-to-plate, humanely harvested beef cattle. In her “spare" time Chris is particularly proud of pursuing the sport of horseback archery with her two fearless, talented, and beautiful daughters, and spending as much time as possible on adventures with like-minded friends and family with their equine partners.
