Kate Murphy
Program Director
Kate is a Registered Instructor with PATH International and Program Director at Morning Dove. Her outlook on life is to find someone to bless every day. Kate grew up around horses and is the daughter of two wonderful and loving elementary school teachers. Although not in the traditional classroom, she was destined to teach in some capacity. Kate learned from her childhood horse that best friends sometimes come with four legs. She believes that therapeutic riding is a full-circle experience for the horse, student, family and instructor. As the Program Director, Kate brings years of experience in therapeutic riding, as well as her background in advertising, new business development, and project and construction management to Morning Dove. Kate looks forward to the future growth of Morning Dove and being a part of it.
