About ChriShan Park

Chris and Shan Wilson, brothers with a deep and common bond in their appreciation for horses, began training Arabians together when they were teens. Rumor has it that their names were linked together so consistently in those early days that some people actually believed they were hearing about one extraordinary young horse trainer named “Chrisanshan Wilson”.

Today, Chris Wilson and Shan Wilson operate one of the most successful amateur and open training programs in the United States. They recently combined forces in their newly updated and expanded Springfield facility, and continue to specialize in English Pleasure training. Shan has been nominated for the APAHA Male English Trainer Award and for Horseman of the Year. He has his “r” judge’s card. Chris has been named an APAHA Male English Trainer of the Year. Chris and Shan consistently bring well-trained and happy horses to the show arena. They are honest and straightforward with their clientele and truly appreciate that showing horses should be a fun, not stressful, activity.

ChriShan Park is nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of the Ozarks three miles north of Springfield, Missouri. Conveniently located just ten miles northeast of the Springfield/Branson National Airport and 35 miles from the Branson Airport on the historical Pine Crest Farms, the newly expanded ChriShan Park facility boasts 75 stalls, 38 of them new, a new 225' by 84' indoor arena, two new round pens, an indoor hot walker which will eventually become an exerciser, a 60' x 20' lounge/office area that looks out into the arena, and two outdoor arenas--one 190’ x 80’ and the other 250’ x 120’, and breeding facilities. There is also on-site guest housing with pool access.
