Katie Rudnick

Owner & Trainer

Katie’s love for horses started at a young age. Her riding career started about 20 years ago. She is the only one in her family who rides and got her start when a family friend put her in a summer horse back riding camp. The rest was history.

She spent her junior years showing in the equitation, hunters, and jumpers along the east coast of the United States.  Katie has shown at regional and national levels from 4-H to AA shows.

She has spent her professional years bringing along young show horses in the hunters and jumpers. From putting the first rides on young horses to bringing them to their first shows, Katie enjoys it all.

Being able to encourage a love for horses in the lessons she teaches, for both children and adults, is something that brings happiness to her life. Katie strives to create positive experiences for her clients, like the ones she fondly looks back on from her trainers growing up.

Katie has also received her M.B.A. in Equine Management from Midway University and a B.S. in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida.

Michaila

Michaila began riding at an early age of 6 years old in Southern California. She grew up in the English discipline and competed in hunters, jumpers, and equitation. In college, she was on the equestrian team at Cal Poly Pomona through IHSA which competed against schools such as USC, UCLA, Stanford, and Arizona State University. She also worked for Cal Poly Pomona’s Arabian horse center as a stable hand and catch rider. Her now professional career in hospitality requires her to often relocate, however no matter where it is she always seems to find a place to keep horses in her life.

Stable Hand

Alexis discovered her love for horses at a young age during a horseback riding summer camp in her hometown of Southern Illinois. She started lessons a few years later in both English and Western Dressage, and she really fell in love the medical side of things. She went to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences on the pre-veterinary track. During her studies, she has worked with every species from rhinos and elephants to kittens and puppies, but her heart is still set on equine/farm animal medicine. She is currently getting her Master’s Certificate in Veterinary Sciences and applying to vet schools, as she hopes to one day be a large animal veterinarian!
