Kathy Kunsman

Owner and head trainer Kathy Kunsman is a graduate of Virginia Tech, and she has been a part of the New Jersey horse world for over thirty years. Kathy has started many of her students in lead-line or short stirrup and brought them up to compete at the national level.

She prides herself on her ability to match her students with mounts appropriate to their individual skill levels and competitive in the show ring. Her goal is that each rider is confident enough to reach his or her full potential, and be both comfortable and successful.

Kathy also breeds a small string of warmblood and Thoroughbred sport horses, with a quiet hope of bringing more Thoroughbreds back into the hunter and jumper rings, where they once dominated.
