Equine Sports Massage Therapy by Christine Sciortino

Christine Sciortino is a certified equine sports massage therapist. She was kind enough to sponsor classes and the goose jumps at the Goose Day Horse Show.
Both Christine and her daughter Hailey were showing this year! Francine Sciortino, proud mother and grandmother, got to watch them both compete from the announcer's stand where she was busy doing points throughout the show!
Hailey won the grand champion for the Lead Line division on Saturday and the reserve grand champion for the Lead Line division on Sunday.

Christine takes hundreds of pictures, and she shared a few with us: http://picasaweb.google.com/goosedayhorseshow/2009ShowPhotosByChristineSciortino#

Here's a picture of Christine and Fantasia posing by the Goose Jump. Didn't Richard do a great job? What a neat jump!
















How cute is Hailey atop Fantasia?
