Partners In Our Training Program
Keeping a horse happy, healthy and performing his best is rarely accomplished with good training and riding alone. It often takes the proverbial “village”. So to insure that the horses and riders in our program are always at their best, we partner with several others who we feel are invaluable:

Recommendations
We are often asked to suggest trainers in other vicinities and here are our highly recommended choices:
Katey Augsburger Katz
Katey was Ellen’s assistant for 14 years. During that time she had the opportunity to work with young and problem horses while bringing those and others up to the FEI levels. Katey now has a lovely facility and successful training business.
She is particularly good with horses who need a sensitive, feeling rider, and those who have developed difficulties due to adverse training situations. Katey is currently competing at Intermediate 1. She also coaches/teaches numerous riders at home and at shows throughout California.
