Clinician: Katie Bartlett has been involved with horses since she was a child. Her parents were not horse people and were mystified by her fascination with them. She spent her teenage years working at a series of dressage and eventing barns where she learned about many aspects of horsemanship. She continued to ride while attending Cornell University where she majored in biology and met her husband.

After moving to her farm in Pennsylvania in 1991, Katie acquired several horses who had physical and behavioral issues. She wanted to help them and dived deep into learning more about behavioral science (clicker training and classical conditioning), hoof trimming, biomechanics, Masterson Method, Feldenkrais, and Debono moves.

The more she learned, the more she realized the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional well being of each horse and how important it was to look at any “training problem” from a number of different angles in order to be able to help the horse make progress. She enjoys the challenge and creativity required to address each horse’s individual issues.

Katie works with clients in person in Southeastern Pa (around Elverson, Pa). She also offers virtual sessions if the topic is appropriate for that type of learning environment. She can be reached at kabart315@gmail.com.
