Katy's Current Horses

Faust

Faust is a 2008 hanoverian gelding, Fidertanz x Diamond Hit. Owned by Elizabeth Lewis of Wyvern Farm, Katy and Faust have been partnered since 2019 when they started at 4th level. After a successful run at the Prix St George and Intermediare I level with scores over 70%, Katy and Faust debuted at Grand Prix in 2024 with a 64%. They are looking forward to building on that in 2025!

Felino de Ymas V (Fabio)

Fabio is a 2013 PRE gelding imported from Spain and owned by Elizabeth Lewis of Wyvern Farm. He and Katy have been partnered since 2020 and have climbed the levels from 3rd to Intermediare I. Fabio has super elastic gaits, a fabulous piaffe and passage, and the best work ethic, and Katy is looking forward to bringing him out at the medium tour level (Intermediare A/B/2) in 2025.

Fernando (Andy)

Andy is a 2017 westfalen gelding (For Romance x Damon Hill), owned by Katy and towering over the rest of the barn at 17.2 1/2 hands but with the personality of a big puppy. With his previous owner he earned scores over 80% in national tests and finished in the top 10 nationally in the FEI 5 year old division at Lamplight. Katy and Andy are a new partnership and aiming to debut at 4th level in 2025

Dogwood

Dogwood is a 2019 oldenburg gelding (Desperado NOP x Donnerschee x Romancier) who Katy has known since he was a yearling and purchased as an unstarted three year old. Dogwood is the barn's best cuddler. Primarily campaigned to date by Katy's working student Meredith, Dogwood has scored over 75% at first level, up to 77% at the FEI 5 year old test, over 69% at 2nd level, and to 81.5% at materiale. In 2023 he won the Regional Adult Amateur champs at training level and was reserve champion at first level. At CDS champs he was reserve champion for CDS training level AA, finished 4th for USDF region 7 1st level AA (and qualified for KY finals), and finished top 5 in the CDS Open 5 year old Futurity. In 2024 he and Katy were chosen for the Elite Young Horse Training sessions. Dogwood shows tremendous trainability and huge ability to sit; he is now ready for 3rd level with solid flying changes and half passes, schooling pirouettes and half steps. 

Singularity (Smiley)

Smiley, bred in the US by Silene White of CT, was purchased by Katy as a rising yearling and raised at her house. He proved his show horse bonafides early, earning scored over 80% as a yearling in sport horse in hand classes.This big black westfalen gelding (born 2020, Secret x Wolkentanz x Argentan) thinks he is a labrador retriever and can usually be found at shows with his head inside the golf cart, tent, or tack room. In 2024 he and Katy were chosen for the Elite Young Horse Training sessions. In the 2024 season, smiley was never out of the 70s at training level, scored between 69-72% at first level, and between 76 and 79% at the USEF 4 year old test, qualifiying him in the top 15 four year olds in the country for the championships at lamplight. Katy declined the trip with such a young horse and instead spent the summer trail riding (he's one of the barn's best trail horses despite his young age), jumping, and training towards 2nd level, which he will do on 2025 along with the FEI 5 year old classes. Smiley has 3 fabulous gaits with a walk for a 9, and also recently also begun forming a partnership with Grade 1 Para Rider Holly Lovejoy. They hope to compete internationally in 2026 when Smiley is old enough to be eligible.

Bonds Best Man IPH (Harry)

Harry, a 2020 westfalen gelding by Bonds, was spotted by Katy as a weanling at Breeder Megan Sigiba's farm in Oregon, then purchased by Katy on partnership with Elizabeth Lewis as a yearling after they convinced the owner to sell! Harry was raised in the pastures at wyvern farm. He challenges Dogwood for the "best snuggler" title and faces with his adorable ears pricked forward looking for humans and fun! Harry loves trails and jumping and spent a memorial week in summer 2024 at Pony Club camp with a Jr rider, where he also jumped cross country, went on nightime bareback trail rides, and played polocross.

Judges love Harry, and in just a few shows in 2024 he went to big show grounds and scored over 70% at first level and over 76% at training level. Harry has huge elastic and expressive gaits. We are bringing him along more slowly owing to his slower physical maturity (aka he looks like a gangly teenager) but are super excited over how he is moving as he gets stronger. He is schooling everything from 2nd level so we shall see what 2025 brings!

Fluorescence ASH (GloGlo)

Gloglo is a 2021 premium westfalen gelding, bred on the east coast, Flemmingh x Jazz x Samber. His half sister was named Reserve Grand Champion Dressage at Devon in 2023. Gloglo is the sweetest most easy going boy with three powerful and expressive gaits. Purchased by Katy as a weanling and raised at her house, he is a favorite of our local pony club, where he would go for travel experience as a baby and be doted on and groomed by herds of kids.  Lightly backed and worked and hacked out in his three year old year in 2024 to give him time to grow into himself (he is over 17 hands at 3.5!), he will have some time off this winter then come back to work in 2025 to consider the FEI 4 year old classes.

Dimeric Dream IPH (Meri)

Meri, 2021 westfalen mare by Dream Boy, was bred by Megan Sigiba in Oregon and purchased by Katy at just a few days old. At her westfalen inspection she was awarded premium and shared the reserve national champion title for the KDR book with her stablemate Bonnie. Raised by Katy and started lightly under saddle in late summer 2024, Meri shows super uphill balance and rideability in all gaits. She is currently in foal to the stallion Fortunato H2O (who competed on the para team at WEG in 2022 and is now winning at Prix St George with scores in the mid 70s). Baby is due end of April 2025 and we can't wait!

Bonds Edition IPH (Bonnie)

Bonnie is a 2021 westfalen mare by Bonds, bred by Megan Sigiba in Oregon. At her westfalen inspection she was awarded premium and shared the reserve national champion title for the KDR book with her stablemate Meri. With her gorgeous face, sweet personality, and a particularly expressive trot and canter, Katy was excited to have the chance to add her to the herd  in early 2024. She is being lightly started under saddle as of Oct 2024. Bonnie is also in foal (due May 2025) to the Hilltop farm stallion Louisville HTF (Lord Leatherdale x Negro) who has had sucess at Lamplight in the FEI 6 and 7 year old divisions and is now competing in CDIs at the small tour level. After foaling out, Bonnie will resume her under saddle career.

Symbiosis (Simba)

Simba is a 2022 Danish Warmblood gelding, Secret x St Shufro. He was a premium foal and site champion at his NADWA inspection, earnings 8s on all three gaits. His name suits him since he is moves like a cat, so elastic and powerful. We can wait to get this one going under saddle in 2025.

Island's Belthil (Toothless)

TL (named after the baby black dragon from "how to train your dragon) is a 2023 westfalen gelding, Buckingham x Wynton. Bred in western Canada by Jessica Kellner, he was reserve champion nationwide among all westfalen colts and geldings at his foal inspection, scoring 8.4 overall with a 9 for "swing and elasticity". He moves as though he has springs for feet!

Fraxinous OBF (Frax)

Frax is a 2024 Oldenburg colt, Franklin x Furst Nymphenburg, bred by Charlotte Morran in southern california. Elite foal with GOV and site champion at his inspection. Still pics dont don't really do him justice; he's got huge presence and three fabulous gaits! Once weaned, Frax will head up to Oregon to join Toothless for a few years in grass pasture before coming to join the herd at wyvern.
