Message from Katie about the 2020 World Show

To say this year has presented its challenges is definitely an understatement. Our gratitude runs deep to all of the people who had a hand in creating a show we weren't sure we would be having! We showed up when there was many reasons not to.

This year our students and horses gave 100% day after day and they reaped the reward of their hard work. THANK YOU to all of our amazing clients that allow us to do what we love everyday.

THANK YOU to our amazing vets at Northwest Equine, and our outstanding shoer who support our animals in being their best. THANK YOU to Sue Schultz who believes in me as a trainer, and knows the power of people learning to believe in themselves through the mastery and discipline of horsemanship.

We are made of more than we realize, and we thank and honor the horses for teaching us this important lesson.

Unstoppable Kindness going strong

We are so proud of our students and their non-profit Unstoppable Kindness! Every month our teams make 100 sack lunches to feed Seattle's homeless.

They also learn about philanthropic endeavors through raising money and designing projects like their Survival Backpacks or Welcome Home Laundry Baskets.

Since 2012, Unstoppable Kindness has been dedicated to eradicating homelessness in Seattle and developing the leadership skills of young women. To find out more or to donate, please see their website Unstoppable Kindness.
