HISTORY AND GOALS

Kathy’s equine knowledge is derived from a diverse background cultivated from working with an array of individuals.

Kathy started her riding career at the age of 7 on a Shetland pony and moved up to horses with her moms Quarter Horse. Her foundation started with 4-H and she was taught the many values, ethics, and guidelines that she carries with her today. She has successfully competed in 4-H, USEF Hunter/Jumper, AQHA, AHA, Pinto, USDF Dressage, and AWS.

WWF offers a new and unique option for competing at any level:
 A developed methodology of training principles to enhance partnership between horse and rider.
 Varied menu of training options.
 Optional show packages.
 Youth and Amatuer friendly atmosphere.
 Multi-dicipline and level.

Kathy enjoys working with youth and amateurs to help them achieve their goals. Being successful in the show ring or on the trail depends on the basics of proper horsemanship skills. Her lesson and coaching programs are energetic, 1 on 1, or group session’s that are positive and non-pressured. An individual program is designed to develop a working partnership between horse and rider.... See More
