Our Story

Katherine started her journey with horses when she was 11 years old. From the first day she went to the barn, she was hooked for life. It wasn’t long before she would stand up, sit backwards, do flips and jumps on and off of the horses. When Katherine was 13 years old, she followed her long time dream to learn the art of gymnastics where she later became a gymnastic instructor. Fast forwarding a few years, Katherine had the privilege of training with a long time, 2nd generation, circus performer, Carlos Sevensson. It is there she realized that her gymnastic and equestrian training came together in beautiful harmony!

In the Spring of 2017 Katherine started Just Jump It! Ba****ck Arts, where she offers vaulting lesson, clinic, camps, and more. Just Jump It! Ba****ck Arts is based out of Devinwood Farms in East Carondelet, IL. For more information call Katherine at 573-837-7190 or email at jjiba****[email protected].
