Meet our instructor,
Kerrie Mick has a huge admiration for training horses and riders. She is an experienced horsewoman known for being flexible, passionate, and fluent with all ages of students and loves all horse breeds even if they come with behavioral problems. Kerrie enjoys taking horses and riders and showing and teaching them their full potential, this is a process she loves to document and witness. Kerrie achieves this by starting with grooming and basic safety for the animal and the rider, then after terminology of grooming utensils and tack the rider will begin groundwork and dressage/ horsemanship. This builds a solid foundation for a horse and rider relationship to have a safe place to grow.
Kerrie began riding in early childhood but got serious about wanting to compete in her very early teens. She fell in love with the competition and adrenaline rush of Barrel racing alongside barrel racing she appreciates the art of saddle seat. Kerrie has competed and excelled in many horse sports, and is a well-rounded equestrian.
Kerrie graduated high school at Excelsior Springs High and got accepted into many universities and landed at K-State where she is currently studying Animal Sciences with pretenses for pre-veterinary Medicine, where she wishes to specialize in large animal medicine. This degree plays a large part in her love for horses, she doesn’t ride on the K-State Rodeo team but she volunteers for them and supports heavily in their program. She also is a huge supporter of the Arabian Horse Association (AHRA) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) these associations have attributed to Kerrie’s knowledge and helping her learn more useful horse care and management skills also keeping her up to date on the newest research regarding vaccines, farrier care, and many more essential components to caring for a horse.
Kerrie is wonderful with beginners of any age, but specializes in teaching intermediate saddle seat. Parents and children love her reliability, kindness, patients, and contagious smile. She does her best to keep lessons fun but with the underlying understanding being around horses is very serious. Being a rider herself she is very dedicated to her own and her riders developments.
