Katy & Friends

 Katy Boswell has dedicated her entire life to her love of horses.  As a young girl she began taking riding lessons at Kenmore Stables in Mission Valley. She started her equine career working for Bob Bradley at Bonita Valley Farm, then for Sally Black at Blackland Farm in Bonita, where she managed the business operations, taught riding lessons, and competed in local horse shows on her mare Auspicious Cass.  Before venturing into her own business, she also taught for Chuck Esau Training Stables in Rancho Bernardo.

Katy started Hidden Fox Farm in Lakeside in 1995.  In 1999, Katy and Mike purchased the present La Cresta property and built the new facility. The farm has experienced much growth and success, with riders consistently winning Year End Awards in their equitation age groups for the Greater San Diego Hunter Jumper Association. 

Riding Instructor Jenny Minniti-Shippey has four years of teaching experience from Randolph-Macon Woman's College, in Lynchburg, Virginia.  She studied Hunter/Jumper Equitation for four years at that college.  During that time, for three consecutive summers, she taught horseback riding at Camp High Rocks, an outdoor adventure camp for boys in Brevard, North Carolina.  Jenny taught English riding there, primarily to beginners, with an emphasis on safety and fun.  After graduating, she worked for six months as an assistant coach for East Carolina University's Intercollegiate Riding Team.  She was also a barn manager for Sanctuary Farm, in North Carolina, a position that allowed her the opportunity to work with young horses as well as riders.
