Kathy Viola, Owner/Trainer
Kathy has over 40 years of equestrian experience in multiple disciplines.
She started out riding in the AQHA circuit, showing both Western Pleasure
and English. She then went on to train Dressage for five years with Max von
Bluecher at Fortuna Farms. Max founded the American Trakehner
Association here in the United States . After moving to New York and Florida
she trained and showed on the A Circuit with notable trainers; Ralph Caristo,
Phil DeVita, Bill Schaub, and Doug Simpson. Ten years ago Kathy became a
professional and founded Sweet Music Farms where she bred to two top
stallions; Heisman (1992 Olympics) and Golan (1984 Olympics). Their
offspring are finding great success on the A Circuit in both Hunter and Jumper
classes. The farm now stands two stallions with bloodlines from two of the
top breeding stallions in the world, Furioso II and Gotthard. Kathy believes
that basic classical training methods and good horsemanship skills are the
key to success for both the horse and rider. Email,
