Katie’s love of horses started at a very young age. She took weekly lessons at a small local hunter jumper barn. Her family purchased their first horse when Katie was 8 years old. Soon after she joined her local Pony Club where she eventually earned her C-3 rating. During her time in Pony Club Katie gained experience in a variety of disciplines- eventing, jumpers, combined test, and dressage. In her twenties Katie changed her focus to dressage, and traveled to Etten-Leur, Holland to complete a working student internship.
After working abroad Katie returned to complete her education at Shepherd University and received a Bachelors in Education. She was then hired by LCPS as a third grade teacher, but kept riding and training horses part time. In addition to riding for clients, Katie also ran a successful summer camp at Grey Goose Farm for young children, as well as, a small lesson program.

Corinne Foxley started her equine education in Salt Lake City, UT with MaryLee Brighton, a trainer who specializes in starting mustangs adopted from the BLM and turning them into hunter/jumper and riding prospects. Corinne learned all the basics of natural horsemanship from her years with MaryLee. She had the opportunity to start horses in the round pen which gave her a good feel for reading and understanding the body language of the horse. While at Brighton Meadows, she also rode and competed hunter/jumper.
While attending Virginia Tech University and earning a degree in Animal Poultry Science with the intention to attend Veterinary School, Corinne worked for a KWPN breeder. Corinne was responsible for starting and riding the young horses. She also worked as the show groom for the head trainer at the farm. Here she gained yet more experience starting horses but was able to learn more about upper level competition as the show groom for the head trainer.
Following college Corinne worked as a riding instructor in DC at Rock Creek Park Horse Center while also working at Howard University assisting in neuroscience research at the Howard University Medical School. While at Rock Creek Park Horse Center, Corinne taught riders of all ages and levels and was challenged with finding the best techniques for each individual. Rock Creek Park Horse Center enabled Corinne to be more sensitive and creative in her teaching skills.
During her time at Rock Creek Park Horse Center, Corinne was offered the opportunity to work with Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel. She took on a working student position at First Choice Farm that was only supposed to be a two year commitment. After several years however, Corinne became the Assistant Trainer and worked for Felicitas for 10 years. Her time with Felicitas gave her new insight into what dressage and true balance of the horse and rider really is. Corinne was able to obtain her Bronze and Silver Medals under the tutelage and help from Felicitas. Under the wing of Felicitas, Corinne was able to gain a better understanding of showing and competing at the FEI level and the grit it takes to be successful.
During her time at First Choice Farm, Corinne took a short leave to work in Europe with Uta Graf at her farm in Kircheimbolandon, Germany. There she was able to train with Uta and expand her classical knowledge even further.
Throughout this, Corinne has also built a family of her own. She lives with her very supportive husband Jason, and her two young boys, Henry and Austin.
