Whether you're just beginning your journey or rebuilding it, we're here to help you turn confusion into clarity and disconnection into a willing partnership.
Our lesson program meets you and your horse exactly where you are (whether in-person or virtually) and gives you the support, guidance, and tools to build a relationship that feels not only functional, but deeply fulfilling.
With a focus on practical tools and meaningful progress, Kate works closely with each horse and rider to uncover what truly helps the partnership thrive.
Whether you're overcoming challenges, building a solid foundation, or reaching for the next level, you'll find personalized support that makes a lasting difference.
"Kate is patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. As a new rider she helped me understand horses, build confidence, and overcome every fear. I watched her work with kids, adults, and all kinds of horses; she is amazing in every setting. She teaches with passion and skill. Highly recommend her for anything you need." -Karyn
"After a serious riding accident and time in the ICU, I was afraid to get back on a horse. Kate patiently helped me rebuild my confidence and find joy in riding again. Now in my mid-70s I ride several times a week and even train my own filly. I can never thank her enough." - Ken B

The Horse–Human Relationship Program provides a structured, personalized path toward a stronger partnership, with flexible support options and ongoing guidance.
Kate places the horse-human relationship at the center of everything. Her approach is grounded in mutual respect, honesty, trust, kindness, and compassion. She customizes each lesson to meet the needs of the individual, helping bridge the communication gap between horse and human; something most traditional riding lessons miss.
Yes. While lessons are geared for one-on-one, the virtual Horse-Huamn Relationship program as well as in-person clinics are geared for groups, perfect for community support. And, if you're local, ask about reoccuring group sessions at your own arena: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly options are available.
Virtual coaching gives you access to expert guidance, right from home, no matter where you are located. Whether you're participating live in real-time virtual coaching or reviewing your personalized feedback later, these sessions keep your horsemanship growing strong.
No. Your cell phone works perfectly. Simply set it on a tripod, fence, or ask someone to hold it for you. I recommend Bluetooth headphones so you can move away from your phone while still hearing me clearly. Make sure your phone is fully charged before each session, and ensure you have strong cell reception or WiFi connection. If needed, consider a signal booster or WiFi extender for areas with poor connectivity.
Start with Bluetooth headphones, they're essential for clear communication while moving around. Next, invest in a tripod for stable video. For serious upgrades, consider a Pivo or similar auto-tracking device that mounts your phone and follows you and your horse with 360-degree rotation, completely hands-free. If your phone battery drains quickly during sessions, add a portable charger or power bank that you can connect while filming to keep your device charged throughout the entire session.
In-person sessions offer hands-on support and the chance to work directly with your horse or one of ours. There's something uniquely powerful about learning together in the same space; and Kate's presence brings added clarity, confidence, and connection.
Yes. I offer lessons for children 12 and under, with an emphasis on safety, confidence, and foundational horsemanship. Lessons are available on your horse or on ours.
