Katie Hickson: In Memorium

Sunday February 28, 2016

It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Australian TV Personality Katie Hickson.

The International Society of Rider Biomechanics wishes to bestow the honor to change the name of our major award to the “Katie Hickson Memorial Trophy for Humanitarian of the Year” for all her amazing hours, love dedication and personal fortune she put into the equine industry.

The first of these awards will be presented at our gala awards in Lexington Kentucky, October 15, 2016 co-hosted by the University of Kentucky, Midway University and Kentucky Horse Park.

It was always Katie’s dream to come to Kentucky, and the Society had tried to help her achieve that dream.

We are deeply saddened as Katie was a very close personal friend to the Society over the years, and was producer/director on our Sydney Teacher Training DVDs, and we ask for prayers for her sister, friends and family.
