Barrel Racing
A lifelong horsewoman from north-central Illinois, Katie Chism brings a passion for barrel racing and developing quality horses. Her competitive experience spans barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, team roping, and goat tying, with national finals qualifications across major youth, collegiate, and professional rodeo circuits.
In 2024, Katie and her homegrown stallion, MF Aces Famous Fling (“Ace”), captured the North American Championship at the Great Lakes Circuit Finals, winning all three rounds and the average.
As a breeder, trainer, and competitor, Katie believes success in the arena begins long before a run. Her approach emphasizes a solid foundation, an understanding of each horse, and a strong horse-and-rider partnership. Through her teaching, she helps riders become more confident, effective, and intentional in their training while bringing out the best in their equine partners.
Something unique about Katie that most people don't know about!
Katie has pursued specialized training in equine ultrasound and artificial insemination so she can manage the reproductive care of their own mares. It has been a rewarding addition to her role at Maubach Farms Quarter Horses, their family business dedicated to breeding and raising future performance horse prospects.
