Throughout her riding career she had the opportunity to work with many great coaches and international competitors including Captain Mark Phillips, Lucinda Green, Neil Ishoy, Robin Hahn and Bonnie Bonello.  While earning her Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Saskatchewan, she trained with Dayton Gorslme who is now the head coach at Spruce Meadows.

During her University years, Kristy coached the Saskatoon Pony Club and travelled with them to Toronto to compete in the National Rally. Following University, she combined her horse interest and education and worked for Lakeland College as an equine extension facilitator.  She represented the college at Equitana in Louisville, Kentucky and the international Equi-Trends Congress held at Spruce Meadows in 1996.  Kristy continues to compete in hunter and jumper competitions and has a keen interest sin the coaching aspect of the sport.

In October of 1997, Kristy and her husband Darrik purchased and are now operating the Hill Equestrian Centre, where she did most of her training.  The centre is located just ½ mile from the original Foote farm where her great grandfather, W. G. Foote, a Barr Colonist, settled his homestead in 1903.
