Kasey Rowe
Kasey grew up in Chatsworth, California, surrounded by horses from an early age. Her mother, accomplished dressage trainer Kym Frazier, instilled in her a deep love for horses and riding. As a creative and determined young rider, Kasey even devised a makeshift “seat belt” to help her stay on her spirited pony—an early sign of her grit and passion for life in the saddle. From that moment on, her dedication to riding never wavered.
As a member of the United States Pony Club, Kasey developed a solid foundation across multiple disciplines and, most importantly, a commitment to exceptional horsemanship. At just eight years old, she took her first official dressage lesson with Hilda Gurney and immediately fell in love with the sport.
Kasey attended Chapman University from 2005 to 2009, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. In 2011, she began traveling to San Diego for monthly training sessions with Laurie Falvo. Within a year, an opportunity arose for Kasey to join Laurie as an assistant trainer—a partnership that lasted 12 years. During that time, Kasey trained and developed numerous horses, both her own and her clients’, from Training Level through Grand Prix, earning her USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals.
Kasey has had the privilege of training with world-renowned equestrians including Steffen Peters, Niki Clarke, Jane Weatherwax, and Juan Matute, and she continues her education under Olympian Sabine Schut-Kery and master coach Anne Gribbons.
A devoted student of dressage, Kasey thrives both in and out of the saddle—whether training, competing, or continually expanding her knowledge of the sport. She looks forward to continuing her education and competitive journey in beautiful San Diego, California.
