My Story

Hi there, I'm Katie Pritchard (KP).
I have ridden and trained on every continent in the world, except Antarctica.

I have developed techniques through over 20 years by gathering skills from being raised by horses, or what some call natural horsemanship. I have trained and learned from hunter jumpers, ranch work, reining, dressage, cow work, hordes of hours of trail rides, on and with hundreds of different kinds of horses. Ill behaved horses have encouraged me to find techniques to prevent being bucked, reared, bolted on, bitten, stomped and kicked. I have started quite a few horses and colts with the help of my knowledge learned from the California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, Equine Program where I obtained my 4 year bachelors degree.

Due to these experiences and my ability to translate the subtleties and nuances of horses to humans in an effective, truthful and direct manner I am a unique and very effective trainer for both horse and human.

My goal is to teach you your horses' subtleties, needs and how to prevent bad behavior from arising while furthering your riding knowledge. Once we have achieved this, you will find that your riding experience is much more enjoyable, fun and entertaining.
