Katie Alms has been in the midst of all those riders she admires, competing with the best of them in the FEI levels. At the recent Welcome Back to White Fences II, she was near the top of the score board in the FEI Prix St. Georges, finishing second with a score of 66.25 percent, just behind first-place finisher Susan Jaccoma and her score of 69.50 percent.

Having decided that she didn’t want to spend another winter training in the cold, the 20-year-old college sophomore asked Jennifer Baumert, with whom she has trained for the past two years, if she could work for her in Florida. Baumert said yes and Alms packed up her bags and took along her horse, Roodeport II, an 11-year-old Bavarian Warmblood by Rohdiamant.
