THIS MONTH’S EXPERT

Kat Swigart is a horse trainer in Southern California who specializes in teaching horses new things—and teaching owners how to do these new things with their horses. In addition to saddle breaking horses of all ages, these new things have been as diverse as long distance trail riding at different speeds over varied terrain; jumping, dressage and eventing; team penning and cattle work; and carriage driving. She even has had some horses that do all of these things.
