Katty was born and raised in Llano, TX. Her family's ranch implemented a deep love and respect for all animals early on. She worked for her grandfather’s paint horse breeding operation during her summer vacations and trained her own horse, King, as an all-round competition horse. After graduating high school, Katty pursued her passion of working and caring for animals. Her veterinary medical career is 16 years strong in mixed animal medicine. She and her son Christian live on the family ranch where they both enjoy their love of animals with their herd of horses, goats, dogs, and cats.
