Kate Anderson began training her own horses at ten years old and took numerous horses into the show arena with success. She learned to train by studying books, videos, observing at shows, experimenting, and riding with various trainers in different fields. While working on a degree in History from the University of Wyoming, Kate researched French horsemanship during the 17th and 18th centuries. After applying many of the methods she read about, Kate decided to follow the French horsemanship theory of lightness as her guiding principle. Now, she continues to study different methods of horsemanship, including French dressage, and horse care methods, with special interest in the musculoskeletal system.

Recently, Kate has ridden with the following:
Nicole Weinauge (Ecole de Legerete)
Larry Whitesell (Gaited Horse Trainer of the Year)
Julica Ruhrmann (Sitzkunnst)
JP Giacomini (Endotappping)
Clinton Anderson (Natural Horsemanship clinician)
Eitan Beth-Halachmy (founder, Cowboy Dressage)

Kate is also a certified EEBW (Equinology Equine Body Worker), which is a method of sports massage.
