We interview Katie Clements, of Katie and Grumeti fame, about her life with an ex-racehorse
Katie Clements is currently rising through the social ranks with her various accounts, known famously as ‘Katie and Grumeti’, she documents her life with ex dual-code racehorse Grumeti. The handsome fella is now turning his hand to showjumping and has become quite the celebrity!
Katie is now using that platform to raise awareness of life after racing for thoroughbreds, as well as delving a little deeper behind the scenes in racing by riding out and visiting high profile yards within the sport.
Alongside her Twitter and Instagram accounts, Katie recently re-launched her Blog, Katie & Grumeti, which is well worth checking out.
We virtually sat down with Katie to hear from the horses mouth about what she is up to, and how it came to be.
Katie, we have to ask how and when you got started with horses in your life?
I rode as a kid but gave it up after a nasty fall when I was about 12/13 years old, I then came back to it at around the age of 24, mostly because my mum wanted to do it again, so I've managed to acquire quite a few horses in a relatively short riding career!
We are all big fans of your tales of life with Grumeti, and you clearly know him better than he knows himself! Some ex-racers are difficult to get to know and a bit highly strung or whatever, how was he when you first got him?
Grumeti has been the perfect gentleman from day one and to be honest I thought of him as a bit boring to begin with. We even nicknamed him Tim (nice but dim) for a while.
