I thought I would introduce myself since there are so many new followers here!
My name is Katy Bias - Lover of all things animal, tack & redbull. I am CHA certified and have been teaching lesson for around 10 years.
Before I started teaching and training, I grew up with horses, but never had any former lessons. And well, Let’s just say I thought I knew it all…😅😂🤦♀️ It was just “Pull left, to go left, and pull right, to go right. Right? Kick to go, pull to stop.” Simple as pie ….so I thought…😵💫😂
I remember my very first lesson with a professional trainer..
I was in a group lesson, and she had told everyone to pick up a posting trot. I sat there on my horse super confused. I looked around, thought long and hard…Post? Posting trot? Do I pick up a post from the ground?? 😆😂 and at that very moment, I realized I didn’t know jack 💩 about horses 💀
After working under a trainer for several years, running lesson programs, managing barns, volunteering at rescues, being a ranch hand, and taking as many lessons as possible from multiple different trainers and disciplines, I finally found my passion for ranch riding.
Thankful for my many years of dressage background, it gave me a solid foundation to where I am today. I learned that no matter the discipline, dressage is in EVERYTHING.
One of my main focus is horse and rider connection.
How the riders body effects the horses body, as does the energy, communication, or lack there of. The horse is a mirror of the rider, and often times the problem lies within the rider, rather than the horse.
That’s not to say that’s always the case. But theres usually a miscommunication or disconnect somewhere. I love watching riders connect with their horses, while excelling in and out of the arena.
In the last 2 years I’ve partnered up with SawHorse Ranch . We offer boutique boarding, as well as lessons and training. I am very thankful to have Anne at SHR, as my business partner. We are still a build/work in progress, but aspire to big dreams! Follow along, and I will share more about me and our goals at SHR with KB Horsemanship!
