Shostakovitch

Belgian warmblood gelding Shostakovitch, by Weltmeyer, is currently Kathy’s top FEI horse. "Shosty" and Kathy have many wins under their belt and are proud to now be competing at Grand Prix. Kathy found Shosty as a four-year-old in The Netherlands.

With the help of trainer and Spanish Olympian Juan Matute, Shostakovitch has developed into quite a competitor. “Any horse you bring along from a four-year-old and have great success with is special to you. The longer you are with them the closer you are.”

“I love the sixth sense you can have with any horse regardless of level. I am proud to have ridden and trained the many horses I have and brought the number of people along that I’ve been able to.”
