“Working with horses was all I ever wanted to do from my earliest memories,” says Katherine. “I have always been obsessed. I spent my early life in England and then moved to the US when I was in middle school. Before I graduated high school I started working for Robert Dover and stayed with him for 16 years. Then I had an opportunity to take on the horses he had been competing for Jane Clark and go out on my own. I now am so lucky to get to compete horses jane owns in international competitions both in the USA and in Europe. I spend most summers in England training with Carl Hester who has become a great influence on my riding. In the states I ride with Debbie McDonald who complements Carl and Roberts training perfectly! I have two international competition horses at the moment. Wellnetta who is competing Grand Prix and Alcazar who is competing intermediare II and will soon do his first Grand Prix.”
