About Katie Hasse
Katie started riding when she was 7 years old. Her parents swore they would never get her a pony, but after watching Katie get bucked off a school horse twice at her first show, they changed their minds. Her father still refers to her pony "Bell" as the "beginning of the end." Katie started eventing when she was 12 and hasn't looked back. She has competed through the two-star level and has introduced many young horses to eventing and foxhunting. She has also produced and successfully shown show hunters and competed through Prix St George dressage, earning an USDF silver medal. She has been teaching on and off due to school commitments since she was 15. She attended the Hill School, Highland School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated from George Mason University where she majored in English, with a concentration in Medieval and Renaissance Literature.
Katie primarily trains with Sharon White and Jan Byyny.
She has taken lessons with Linda Zang, Jimmy Wofford, Phillip Dutton, Sean McQuilllan, Jan Byyny, Holly Hepp, Chris Hitchcock, Vicky Hitchcock, Juliet Graham, Jennifer Simmons, Joe Fargis, Allison Firestone, Sue Lyman and Sonja Crampton.
