SMART Advisor: Kate Roosa, Maine USA

Katie Ebbage

Kate has been a rider and student of the horse for over twenty years and has been teaching with horses for more than ten. As an equestrian coach, instructor and trainer, her mission is to inspire personal growth, healthy relationships and good citizenship through the study and practice of horsemanship.The core of Kate’s philosophy is an understanding of equine natural history, physiology and psychology as the first step in creating a safe and reliable partnership - whilst teaching riders to be biomechanically correct with minimal impact on the horse.

Kate has expanded into the training of safe and well-educated horses for amateur riders. She has a long-time love of the sport of Eventing, but regardless of the discipline, her riding and training is centred around developing the physical capacity of each horse through the thoughtful application of classical dressage principles.
