Since a young age I have always been passionate about horses. I was lucky enough to get my first pony at 8 years old and have owned horses ever since. I started working with horses in my teens, competing on my own horses and studied at an Equine College. I soon became a qualified Horse Riding Instructor. This is where I found my love for teaching. I didn’t only teach riding, I started running a Saturday club which became very popular with the kids. They learnt everything about horses. I moved on from the Riding School and started teaching at an Equine College. I worked at the College for 14 years. Although I did enjoy being an Equine Lecturer. Doing school runs, having a baby and being a Lecturer just wasn’t suiting my family life. I worked with a variety of learners throughout the years. Lead a number of different courses, organised events and even took learners over seas on educational trips. It was great fun! One thing that I was always noticed to be good at was supporting learners with additional needs. I really put my all into helping them progress, making bespoke courses for them, making sure they had the same opportunities as everyone else in a way that would work for them. I made time to attended Educational Health Care Plan reviews and have input on their progression. I spent time trying to find internships and help build their futures. So with the help and encouragement from my husband. We put together what I love, what I am good at and what would suit my family life. This is ‘Katie’s Horse Care Club’
