Congratulations to Katie’s student Angie Francart with Blue Cliff for their 3rd place finish in the Training Rider division at the Loudoun Hunt Pony Club Fall Horse Trials this past weekend!
Katie also had a great time teaching everyone at Gordonsdale on Saturday. Despite the heat all of the clinic participants did very well!
This past weekend Katie focused on her dressage and took training horse, Imgoingtosmokeyou aka “Smoke,” and Mr. Indiscretion to the FADS Dressage Show at Blue Horse Farm. This was Smoke’s very first show and he was great scoring a 61% in Training 1 and a 63% in Eventing test B. Although a bit green in the ring (which is to be expected) he was game-on and mentally great!
Mr. Indiscretion, aka “Trip,” went to practice the Intermediate-B level eventing test and did well with a 62.7% but still has some room to improve.
Exciting news! Katie will be holding TWO Cross-Country Schooling Clinics in the month of August. Are you looking to have fun and learn something new? Or possibly having an issue out on cross-country that you would like to work through with a professional? Come out to one (or both!) of these great clinics and learn from one of Maryland’s best!
August 8th- Woodstock Equestrian Park (Poolesville, MD)
August 28th- Gordonsdale Equestrian Park (Berryville, VA)

Congrats to Sabrina Morris and Lisa Reid’s Black Fox Farm Sporthorses’ Cypher for finishing 8th in the Novice Horse division at Seneca Valley Pony Club Horse Trials this past weekend!
New student Angie Francart of Sleeping Fox Farm, LLC and her horse Blue Cliff were having a great go at their first recognized Training, but unfortunately they missed a fence on cross country. We’ve all done it, so on to the next one!
Unfortunately Mr. Indiscretion (“Trip”) didn’t like slipping in the grass, so Katie decided to play it safe and save him for another day. She is going to have the vets check him over before planning their next show.
