Kathy Murphy has ridden and shown since early childhood where she began her career in the hills of California.

After running speed events and working races horses in Chicago, Kathy moved into western pleasure, hunter under saddle, hunter over fences, showmanship, trail, horsemanship, and equitation. Her students ride in both Western and English divisions competing for all-around titles. Showing on the AQHA circuit, Kathy and her daughter have had the honor of qualifying horses and subsequently showing and placing at AQHA Youth World finals. Kathy’s daughter, Kristen, is no longer in the Midwest and therefore Kathy devotes most of her free time training horses and students of all ages. Her philosophy is safety first, fun and take something new with you each ride instilling a partnership between rider and horse. Each student is guided and prepared on an individual basis with his or her own goals in mind whether it be safe trial riding or showing. Students work with lesson horses, their own horses or a combination. Kathy has learned over many years while working with her daughter and hundreds of students, lessons and horse ownership instills compassion, responsibility, confidence, fun and leadership. Kathy’s students also have formed bonds with each other while preparing for and showing horses and have grown together sharing their passion. Through their shared love for horses, some of her students have become lifelong friends.
