Katie Rudnick

Owner & Trainer

Katie’s love for horses started at a young age. Her riding career started about 22 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.

Meet the Team

Olivia

Olivia began riding horses at the age of seven, and her passion for animals has only continued to grow. Her love for the equine industry started in 2010 when her mom took her to her very first riding lesson. With both her mother and brother having ridden horses, it’s safe to say the horse bug runs in the family.

Since 2021, Olivia has worked as a large animal veterinary technician, combining her passion for horses with hands-on veterinary care. She currently owns and boards her horse, Ivano, at Capall and enjoys continuing her education both in and out of the saddle. Olivia is also pursuing her education to become a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) through St. Petersburg College. She’s so excited to be apart of the team!
