Katie Dinan will, in the future, start training with Switzerland’s Beat Mandli. “I will be riding with Beat Mandli” said Katie. “I am about to start my final exams at school, so will be focusing on that for the next few weeks.” The Harvard-University student parted ways amicably this year with long-time trainer McLain Ward. The pair had been working together successfully for three years, seeing Katie ascend to stardom with international Nations Cup appearances this year. Beat Mandli is world-renowned, having represented Switzerland in four European Championships, five FEI World Cup Finals, three World Equestrian Games and two Olympic Games. Needless to say, Katie will be enjoying a mountain of knowledge from the 2007 FEI World Cup Finals winner. Mandli was also a member of the Olympic silver medal winning Swiss Team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. © Noell Floyd - picture: HorseJunkies
