Kate

Kate first sat on a horse on her aunt and uncle's farm at the age of three, paving the way for her quick obsession when she started lessons a few years later. After nearly 30 years, that love of horses is still going strong. She competed in local hunter shows and with IEA in high school. Lucky enough to go to a university with a riding program on campus, Kate also rode competitively in college.

More recently, she has volunteered for the therapeutic riding program at the barn where she boards her horses, as well as a veteran's organization that uses mustangs as part of their program. She has always gravitated toward Thoroughbreds for their goofy personalities and currently owns two geldings who very much fit that mold. When she's not at the barn, Kate can be found under a mountain of books, or dreaming about her next travel destination.
