About Me
Hi I'm Kate. I'm 17 years old and live in Huntly, Virginia (good luck finding it on a map, it's not easy!). I started riding when I was 5 or 6 years old in New Jersey. We moved to Virginia when I was 7 and I have been a riding maniac ever since. When we first moved to VA, I did a lot of foxhunting and show hunters. I eventually started taking some dressage lessons about five years ago and now event full time. I am a senior in high school and I am currently (January-March) in Aiken, SC to ride and compete while there is snow and ice at home. Anyways, I own two event horses (Kermit and Blue), ride another event horse (Will), own a little horse who's leased out right now that does just about anything we ask him to do (Captain), and I used to ride a mare (Teya) for my vet but she had to retire this spring at age 8 b/c of EPM and other related neurologic issues. We also take care of an older mare (Mouse) for a friend who lives in New Jersey. Mouse was also retired early due to a bad run with Lymes Disease and a fractured sesmoid from getting cast in her stall. Last but not least, we have my mom's old pretty-much-retired mare (Rue). She's not very sound but I let her jump some small things now and then with me b/c it makes her SO happy :). She lovesss it. That's about it.. I have a Jack Russell Terrier and had a Lab as well (she just passed away at age 14 1/2). I live with my mom, my dad, and my brother (some of the time..he's 21 and in college).
