Katia Sonsini

My name is Katia and this is me and my beautiful boy Sherbie after an exhilarating run at Equitana last year!

I compete in the western discipline of reining and I have been riding since I was around 8 years old but reining since I was 12. I currently just own my horse Sherbet Bomb (Sherbie) but I have also been riding and competing on my sister's horse Starlight Storm (Stormi) recently and loving that.

My greatest achievement would probably be winning the Rookie level 1 and 2 classes for 2 buckles at our last show in may this year on a PB score of 71 but a close second would be competing at Equitana last year and having an amazing run, the atmosphere was amazing and I am so proud of how Sherbie and I managed to prepare in time amidst year 12 exams at the same time!

My goals with Sherbie are to continue building our maneuvers to achieve the best skills we can and to continue becoming more consistent in the show pen while having a great time during our runs! Another goal is to have some more success at upcoming shows so that Sherbie and I can win our 10th buckle together - that is our next milestone.

My favourite HiForm product would have to be Herbanerve, Sherbie used to get so nervous in the show pen and it would override all of the progress were making in the training session between shows which really held us back, now before and during shows I always make sure to give him Herbanerve and it has helped us keep our cool and focus on what we really have to show off.

I choose HiForm products because they are very natural and Sherbie does so well on them as they are able to provide him the nutrition he needs to perform and stay feeling his best without being sore or getting hot - it the perfect balance for us that allows me to focus on training knowing that his HiForm feed will support him.
