Karen Homer-Brown, a life long horseman, has participated in the equine industry in a variety of ways with a variety of breeds and disciplines throughout the United States and worldwide.
She recalls her mother telling her that she was nearly born in the barn. Having been raised with horses she began showing in leadline as a western rider when she was 2 years old.

As a professional horseman in her younger years, she worked with Arabians, Half Arabians, National Show Horses, Hackneys (horses and ponies) Morgan Horses and Carriage horses. She trained and exhibited horses throughout the East Coast, Mid-West, and Canada. She really enjoys instructing children and adult amateurs to help them enjoy their horses. Throughout the years, Karen worked with many of the nation’s top trainers; often, her specialty was interpreting what the trainers wanted the riders to do in order to get the most out of their horse.
