Crystal ("Christy") and Joseph ("Joe") Knipp are a husband-and-wife team who own and operate Delfina Saddlery from the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

Christy's background includes a B.Sc. from Virginia Intermont in Equine Studies, 40 years of riding; 21 of them as a professional running her own business focused on the JR/YR FEI show jumping athlete, as well as national Eq and Medal riders.

With hundreds of high-performance wins under her belt as a rider and trainer, she has an excellent eye for rider balance and position. Now retired from full-time training, she continues privately coaching, teaching clinics and performing facility assessments.

Her husband, Joe, is a Poli-Sci graduate of the US Naval Academy and served as a Surface Warfare Officer on the USS Monterey, at Special Boat Team 20, the Naval Postgraduate School, and at the NOSC in San Jose. After retiring, he transitioned to selling real estate to the veteran and active-duty communities and taking riding lessons with his wife.
