Kristina Matthews

Kristina Matthews brings grit, brains, and serious ring mileage to the Rebel Riders lineup. She’s earned multiple gold medals and podium finishes riding for the USHJA Zone 8 AA Jumper Team, plus top-ten placings in Adult Equitation at the National Horse Show. She was also named Colorado Equestrian of the Year by Sportswomen of Colorado—because consistency, class, and competitiveness still matter.
Kristina trains and rides with Laurie Jueneman, Maris Metzger, and the team at Snowfield Farm, where hard work meets high standards. She currently shows Adult Equitation aboard Bart C—a second-career king proving comebacks are, in fact, cool—and Adult Jumpers with Catibo M, her steady, kind partner who always clocks in ready to do his job.
She’s been riding since the age of four, which means horses did most of the raising and common sense was always optional.
By day, Kristina is a Farm & Ranch Real Estate Specialist with Keller Williams, helping clients buy dirt, fences, and dreams with good bones. By night (and very early mornings), she’s at the barn—questioning life choices in breeches.

Fun facts, because why not:
#1 Alice in Wonderland forever (full Mad Hatter energy)
#2 Punk music on repeat
#3 Orcas are her favorite animal—beautiful, intelligent, and slightly terrifying
#4 Holds a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology, so yes—she’s quietly judging your life choices (lovingly).

Equal parts horse girl, punk rocker, land hustler, and slightly unhinged academic. Still riding. Still learning. Still not growing up.
