"What Made a Terrific Lesson"
"I've had wonderful help from such gifted instructors as George Morris, Chriss Kappler, and Emil Spadone. Their different advice has always meshed together well, and I've used whatever differences there were in training strategies or technique as prompts for experimenting on my own."

Katherine Walsh: A year off to learn from the best
"After my first year at Sweet Briar College, I decided to see if horses were what I really wanted to do; to get experience at the top level of showing, and to spend a year improving my riding and learning as much as I could about running a top barn...I liked the sound of Emil Spadone's Redfield Farm, which has a wide range of students showing on the A circuit plus a steady sales-horse business. This year is proving to be a good investment of time and effort."
