Katie West

Equine Specialist

Born and raised in the small town of Riner, Virginia, Katie had a very rural start to life which has carried her through many years. Living and working on the family dairy farm, now turned into a beef operation, and riding and training her personal horses, Katie has always had a love for animals and agriculture. Engulfed in agriculture as a teen through FFA and 4H, she competed in many Horse Shows across the east coast and local Hippology and Horse Judging competitions. Her equine knowledge grew during her time in college where she rode for the Midway University Western Team. Living in the center of racing country, Lexington, Kentucky, this experience helped her make many connections and expand her social network. 

Now home in Riner, as a Midway University Alum, Katie has decided to further her equine experience as an Agent with us! She specializes in Mortality and Liability policies, though she is very well versed and will take whatever you throw at her. Her background is mainly in the western and ranch events, but she loves learning about other disciplines as well. " I've always known that I wanted to work in the Equine Industry and I have truly found a passion in making sure that everyone is covered to the extent that they need! "
