Quarter Horse
No Wallflower; This Missouri girl prefers to be hands-on with her horses and with AQHYA.
Cait Kerber started riding horses when she was 8. Two years later, she got her first American Quarter Horse, a sorrel gelding named Iron Prairie Cat, aka “Elvis.” At the age of 12, Cait started competing with Elvis in AQHA novice all-around events.
Cait and Elvis went their separate ways in 2006. Since then, she has shown A Strollin Fantasy, aka “Gump,” in novice all-around; Good N Roan, aka “Blue,” in youth western pleasure; and Bostons Bongo Boy, aka “Woody,” in youth hunter under saddle. In 2008, she qualified Blue for the Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show in western pleasure, and in 2009, she qualified Woody for hunter under saddle.
In June 2009, Cait was elected AQHYA president during the Youth Excellence Seminar and AQHYA Convention in Amarillo.
Why did you want to be AQHYA president? I have never been one to stand on the sidelines and watch. I love being a part of things and helping, so when I got the opportunity to start running for leadership positions in AQHYA, I jumped on it. Really, my parents pushed me to stay involved in the leadership aspects. I knew that I was never going to be a top rider so I wanted to stay involved another way, and being president fulfilled that.
