🐴 Katching Up with Katie | Meet Rikki! Our Gorgeous New Mare + Farm Updates

Say hello to Rikki! In today’s episode, I’m introducing you to the newest member of the farm—our absolutely stunning new mare with a stacked pedigree and some serious show-ring sparkle. I’ll walk you through her background, what makes her so special, and why I’m so excited about what she brings to our little herd.

We also cover a lot of ground in this catch-up—from new farm additions and breeding updates to what we’re planning for this upcoming season. It’s a full farm girl catch-up kind of day.

✨ Meet Rikki – A Western Pleasure queen with major bloodlines and the calmest brain we’ve seen in a while. She’s a 3-year-old mare who’s as sweet as she is stunning.

🐴 Farm Life Updates – I give you the lowdown on Denver, talk breeding goals, and share a few other exciting things happening behind the scenes.

📦 The Reality of Growing the Farm – We’re still figuring out how to balance space, stallions, and timing. It's a lot—but we’re making it work, one horse at a time.

🎥 Posting 3x a week with bonus Shorts + tons of daily behind-the-scenes chaos over on Snapchat (@katievanslyke) and Instagram!
