Kali Kitchen, owner/founder
An authentic horsewoman who loves teaching and training horses and people. Being a horse girl, from a young age I've spent countless hours working with horses. I'm skilled in both English and Western riding, and I'm a firm believer in natural horsemanship techniques. Whether I'm working with youth or adults, my goal is to help them develop a connection with these magnificent animals.

Cathy Foppiano
I am a horsewoman with over 30 years of experience in owning horses, vet tech care, and working with horses and riders. My expertise lies in providing genuine horsemanship from the needs of the horse to educating beginner to intermediate adults as they strive to achieve their personal goals and milestones. My background is rooted in western lifestyle, equine health and performance. I have experience in Team Penning, 4H and natural horsemanship. My teaching philosophy centers around the importance of being present and authentic, both on and off the horse. I find great joy in working with both horses and riders, fostering awareness and developing strong, trusting relationships between the two. With guidance, support, and dedication, we can build a foundation of a skilled safe horse person.

Avery Teeney
I am extremely passionate about horsemanship and take pride in my ability to teach and connect with all riders but especially youth. My specialty lies in providing one on one natural horsemanship instruction and youth group classes. These services cater to beginner to intermediate riders. Whether you are a seasoned or a beginner, I am here to help you achieve your goals. While my specialty lies in working with the public I also have experience in horse training and wrangling. Let's hit the trails or the arena together and experience the joy of riding!

Abby Sliter
I'm a horse enthusiast with a special passion for Natural Horsemanship. I've competed in English hunter jumpers, barrel racing and 4h, and I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience from it. Montana Horse Works has been my second home since I was 7, where I've spent my time as a student until I became a young adult. My specialty is working with beginner and intermediate youth and adults, and I'm confident that my instruction in multiple disciplines will help riders learn the foundations of horse safety, grooming, ground work, and balanced in the saddle.

Danielle Pugh
I'm a cowgirl who loves being a mama and spending time with my horses and daughter. There's nothing quite like the feeling of being out at the barn with my trusty steed by my side. Horses have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and I feel lucky to be able to incorporate that love into my daily life. Whether I'm tending to my horses or spending time with my family, I'm happiest when I'm surrounded by the things that matter most to me.
