Equestrian Training

Katie specializes in training horses for eventing, but welcomes horses from any discipline.

She has vast experience training horses for the hunter or jumper circuit. Katie’s patient personality, combined with her years of experience, make her an excellent choice for green or difficult horses. She makes the owner’s goal her own goal, and works to create successful partnerships between horse and rider.

Katie also travels throughout Frederick, Washington and Montgomery Counties on a regular basis, as well as parts of Howard and Carroll Counties. Her training ride fee for horses not at her farm is $50/ride.

“No drama, just solid, careful training.”

Katie has started riding one of our mares. Rakaia is a premium Oldenburg mare by Riverman who had been previously started under saddle, and then had time off to produce a lovely premium foal by Rousseau. Katie, with a great deal of tact, restarted this mare, and very quickly not only regained her previous level of performance, but exceeded it! This kind of progress can only be achieved by a rider who has experienced a wide variety of horses and who has learned to bring out the best in each individual. No drama, just solid, careful training. Katie is the best! ~Lloyd Lamp
