Her husband Joe, CEO and publisher of Gazette Communications, gave Kate a horse as an engagement present. Kate also loves dogs. Dogs and horses come first at their home, Kate says. People are third. Kate says she is continually amazed at the way the horses interact with the riders at Miracles.
Horses have a spirit, a sixth sense.
These horses know when they have me on their back or they have a person with disabilities on their back. They sense it. Kate also has witnessed some incredible moments with the participants in the program. A little girl, who was about 4 years old, was atop a horse. The child had never spoken.
