Kate Richardson

Kate began riding with VDE in 2017. We are so excited to have her back along with her sweet horse Teddy. Teddy is a 9 year old Anglo-Trekhener that Kate hopes to compete in dressage with this year. Kate began riding at the age of four in the Kids Love Horses program where most of the riding is done on the trails of Los Altos Hills. Kate quickly fell in love with horses and began spending many days at the barn helping instructor Deb Goldeen with feeding, cleaning and doing all the care for the horses. Beginning at the age of 10, Kate began helping teach the younger students the basics of good horsemanship and instilling her passion in future riders. Kate leased a horse Dancer from Deb and really fell in love with jumping. She transitioned to VDE as a rider where she could focus on jumping. Kate rode and leased horses from VDE and eventually bought Teddy. Kate graduated from Homestead High School in 2021 and is very excited to be a part of VDE! Outside of her barn time Kate enjoys hiking, adding to her plant collection, and spending time with Teddy. (Source)
