Kathy Sesser
Equine Specialist

Hi, my name is Kathy Sesser, and I’m an Equine Specialist. An Equine Specialist (or ES) is responsible for the physical safety of all the people involved, both two legged and four legged.

I am a retired high school English teacher with Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree. This is my “ retirement job”, and what a great job it is! I never knew I could combine my love of teaching with my love of horses!

I have been working on and off with horses since the 6th grade when I got a job with a Standardbred barn. I have experience driving, trail riding, and endurance riding. I have been around horses for many years, but there’s something new to learn from them everyday.
