Meet Katrina
Hi, I’m Katrina Race—horse owner, trainer, instructor, equine bodywork specialist, and lifelong horse lover. Horses have been part of my life since I got my first one at two years old, and today I help horses and riders throughout the greater Houston area feel, communicate, and work better together. Whether I’m coaching a rider, training a horse, or providing massage and PEMF, my approach is rooted in patience, partnership, and listening to the horse. I believe the best results come when we work with horses—not simply demand compliance from them.
Client Testimonials
We can’t say enough great things about Firefly Equine Services!
​
Our daughter has been training in English saddle jumping with Katrina for over a year now, and the progress she’s made during that time has been tremendous. Her confidence, technique, and overall horsemanship have grown beyond what we expected, and that’s a direct reflection of the quality of coaching she receives.
​
Katrina is incredibly knowledgeable about horses and riding, and she has a special gift for working with kids. She knows how to challenge them while keeping lessons positive, encouraging, and fun. Just as importantly, she genuinely cares about the horses in her program — their well-being is always clearly a top priority.
​
What truly sets her apart is her willingness to go above and beyond. Whether it’s extra guidance before a show, thoughtful feedback after a lesson, or simply taking the time to talk with parents, she consistently invests in her riders and their families. She’s not just a coach — she’s become a trusted mentor and a friend to both kids and parents alike.
​
Highly respected, well liked, and deeply committed to what she does — we wholeheartedly recommend Firefly Equine Services to anyone looking for quality instruction in a supportive, horse-centered environment.

I've been riding with Firefly Equine for about 2 years since moving from the Northeast and have enjoyed every second. Katrina genuinely cares about her clients; both human and horse. She puts a huge emphasis on saddle fitting and overall equine wellness, always putting the horse first... I could not recommend Firefly Equine more.

Katrina of Firefly Equine Services is a fantastic instructor! She is super knowledgeable and truly understands how to bring out the best in a horse - and rider! Highly recommend working with her whether you want to compete or just become more in tune with your horse.

I highly, highly recommend Katrina with Firefly Equine Therapeutic Bodywork.

My horse suffered a serious ligament injury while riding through a bog (never again!). After several months of rest, medication, and special shoes, my horse's hind leg still buckled when ridden. I feared she was never going to recover.

Katrina is doing fantastic work in getting Zoe back to health. She uses massage, laser therapy, essential oils, pressure points, just to name a few modalities. I am finally feeling hopeful for a full recovery for Zoe.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you! You helped soooo much. I haven't had a good ride with him in 5 months and you made that happen! Thank you for helping him feel better and giving me the confidence in the arena again. Thank you just doesn't seem enough. I owe you big time!
