Kathy started her riding career at the age of 7 on a Shetland pony and moved up to horses with her moms Quarter Horse. Her foundation started with 4-H and she was taught the many values, ethics, and guidelines that she carries with her today. She has successfully competed in 4-H, USEF Hunter/Jumper, AQHA, AHA, Pinto, USDF Dressage, and AWS.

Angela graduated from University of Wisconsin River Falls with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science Equine Management. She has been riding for many years, learning from a variety of instructors, which has culminated into her unique and rewarding teaching style. She is eager to learn as much as she can and looks forward to “working with horses and humans.” She began with barrel racing her Appaloosa mare, and then progressed into natural horsemanship. Schooling followed where she gained knowledge in reining allowing her to participate in the colleges “Colts in Training” program for three semesters. Upon graduation she traveled to audit many different colt starting programs including Lee Smith, an unparalleled horsewoman who was a predecessor to one of the founders of horsemanship, Ray Hunt.
Angela is now participating in Dressage and Jumping lessons to allow a better understanding of the English disciplines. Not only does AES offer beginning riding lessons but Angela also “starts” colts and offers Equine Sports Massage Therapy for any horse with muscular tension.

It is the horse who is the athlete and the rider is more like the driver or director. These are the FOUNDATION SKILLS that a GOOD rider must be able to impart successfully to the equine.Challenging riders makes them stronger than you can imagine. They do learn to fall, but more importantly, they learn to get back up! Given this strength, they might event learn to fly.
