Katie Duerrhammer & Quartett’s Journey to World Championships–Part 1 of 2

Katie Duerrhammer was competing at the U.S. championships three years ago when Adrienne Lyle told her she was looking around Wellington for horses for customers. Katie asked her to keep an eye out for a possible horse for her boss, Kylee Lourie.

Adrienne called to tell Katie she had found a horse “that was very out of shape… he can canter two to three laps without getting out of breath. I think he’ll do a piaffe. I think he’ll do some ones. He’s pretty unimpressive but he’s so sweet and he’s very cute. And he’s very unassuming and TINY.”

Based on Adrienne’s description, Kylee gave the go-ahead without her or Katie even seeing the horse.
