HPF happily incorporated Cate to our program in February 2020. Cate enjoys working with riders of all ages at beginner through intermediate levels, with a focus on dressage. She brings a keen sense of humor along with good horsemanship to her sessions. Her disciplined patience and infectious laugh with teenagers makes her the perfect lead for our dressage IEA Team.

 

She is passionate about training riders with safe practices, good horsemanship, and a solid mounted foundation that will carry them down any equestrian path they pursue.
