Bob and Pat Wherley

• Since the very beginning, Katie's parents have been there to support her competitive career. Whether allowing her to operate out of their farm in Middletown, Maryland, or buying her that first horse, without them, Katie would not be where she is today.

Barbara Werther

• A long time friend and investor, Barbara was kind enough to lease me The Dealmaker, my first prelim horse. When not busy practicing law, she can be found out competing, still at the Preliminary level. Barbara was the one that introduced me to my long time trainer Packy McGaughen. She recently invested in Ralphie who was recently sold to a top hunter barn in New Jersey.

Mike Wherley

• Mike is always there to help when my computer wants to fight with me about entries or printing pictures. He has been an incredible help over with years at shows, whether he's taking photos or going on food runs. He's invested in Baywatch and Gem, both sold into the hunter/jumper world.
