Born and raised in Portlester Stud in Co. Meath, from where her mother Joanna Morgan operated a top breeze-up operation before embarking on a successful training career which yielded numerous winners on the flat and national hunt.
Katie’s father Tommy also was a successful trainer in the states. After growing up surrounded by training horses, working in Willie Browne’s top breeze-up yard and spending time in Australia, Katie decided to set up her own consignment named Derryconnor Stud in 2012.
