DEMO RIDER<br />
KATIE BACHLI<br />
is the assistant trainer at MMDressage, USDF Gold<br />
Medalist Molly Maloney’s training facility in Clinton<br />
Corners, NY. Her love of riding horses began at age<br />
three when she asked her father for riding lessons.<br />
Katie trained and evented into her early twenties, before<br />
deciding to focus solely on dressage. She purchased<br />
her first dressage horse, a 3-year-old gelding,<br />
Grambling, in 2014. The pair went on to win USDF Region<br />
8 Championships at 1st Level in 2017 and at 2nd<br />
Level in 2019. Katie turned professional in 2015, and<br />
she is involved in the day to day training and wellbeing<br />
of multiple FEI horses and horses she is working<br />
to bring up the levels. n<br />
FOREVER P<br />
is 2018 Hanoverian mare (For Compliment x De Niro)<br />
who was bred in the US by Prosperity Farm. Katie purchased<br />
her as a lightly-backed three-year-old, and<br />
started her show career this year, qualifying for the<br />
USDF Regional Championships. Katie says, “It has<br />
been a joy to train her. She learns quickly, is responsive<br />
to light aids, and she has the ability to focus and relax<br />
even when she is presented with new environments.<br />
Next year, I look forward to trying to qualify for the US<br />
Festival of Champions at Lamplight in the 5-year-old<br />
division and the USDF Regional Championships at<br />
First Level.” n<br />
