News & Events

I love creating experiences with, and without horses, which bring people together to connect more authentically. Stronger relationships build stronger communities.  My passion is creating equine inspired experiences to introduce people to the beautiful, healing side of horses and their wisdom. Facilitating a connection experience with horses is the perfect opportunity to help people learn how to connect more authentically with others, and in some cases themselves.

As we focus more on making a difference through equine assisted learning experiences and programs through Unbridled Pathways (501c3), partial proceeds from each event is contributed to the Unbridled Pathways Give Back Fund

Meet Kate Shook

After 2 years without the ideal collaborative partner, herd and safe space to launch the Unbridled Pathways programs, I’m so excited to introduce Kate Shook.  Our serendipitous meeting via LinkedIn opened the door to discussions that revealed many parallels over the past almost 20 years, in our quest to create experiences highlighting the power of the horse-human connection. I’m excited about the growing momentum for our events.

Kate Shook is a third-generation horsewoman who possesses a heart centered bond with horses. This bond resulted in many years of success in the show ring as a top trainer for multiple breeds and disciplines. With a BS in Psychology and over 20 years experience with helping people navigate life’s chapters through horse wisdom, Kate and her herd offer a safe space to take the reins to move forward for more success in business and life. Kate’s ability to convey the heart of the horse to the human is awe inspiring.
