Kate Phillips from Missisippi View Farm teaches at Four Winds on a monthly basis. 

Kate Phillips has more than twenty years experience in the sport horse world. She began showing dressage in 1978; today she successfully competes at all levels up to FEI. Kate has won numerous USDF All-Breed Year-End Awards, including Horse of the Year from the American Warmblood Society, the American Quarter Horse Association, the International Arabian Horse Association, Oldenburg Verband and the Swedish Warmblood Association of North America. Kate has earned her small "r" for judging dressage from USA Equestrian.

Kate began breeding sporthorses in 1980, when she was instrumental in importing the Swedish stallion Leopard from Flyinge Stud in Sweden. She has since stood the Swedish stallion Livius, who she qualified as a fully licensed breeding stallion for the Swedish Warmblood Association. Livius received the then-highest score ever given to a 3-year-old in the US, and was the youngest horse ever approved in the US. More recently she stood the Swedish Warmblood Stallion Galapard, and hosted the American Approvals of the Swedish Warmblood Association.

Kate's ability as an instructor is also noteworthy, as attested to by her students who have won many year-end awards on horses trained at MVF. She specializes in training horses that are suitable for amateur and young riders.
