About Katie

 

Katie's incredible passion for horses from a young age is shown through her work. Her devotion to improving the wellbeing of ridden and non-ridden horse's, is what has driven her to learn about the mechanics of movement, the environment we can build for horses to thrive and pushed her to discover a holistic approach to training.

Katie realised that, in order to improve the horse's overall performance and wellbeing, you have to take a "Whole Horse Approach" looking at saddle fit, training, rider balance, diet, hooves,, environment and management. When you are training horses you have to look at the bigger picture, whether you are dealing with Mrs Jones' happy hacker or a top athlete. 

Having ridden from a young age, Katie has encountered the easy horses and the challenging ones. She has been moulded into the horsewoman she is today because of the variety of horses she has ridden and worked with. The tricky ones have taught her the hardest lessons in patience, tact and compassion and the "good ones" have restored her confidence to keep going, allowing her to share her knowledge and expertise.

Katie has participated in a multitude of equestrian disciplines and has a wealth of experience to share with her clients. Over the year of various competitions and training, it has become apparent how important the fundamental flatwork and fitness training is. 

Katie prides herself on going above and beyond for her clients, and is always on the end of the phone for advice.

 

Over the years Katie has learnt that you don't get sustainable results by trying to 'tell' a horse, you should work with them with tact, compassion and respect, only then will that horse give you one hundred percent.

If it was as easy as 'telling' them what to do, everyone would be successful, wouldn't they?
