Coriander Farm was established in 1992 when Katie and Megan Young first moved to Jacksonville.
For over 28 years Coriander Farm has been the place for many young equestrian enthusiasts to get their start in our sport, with several students competing nationally and or continuing on to ride for their college teams.
Our goal has always been to provide an environment where riding is safe and our students can grow in many ways in the process of becoming horsemen. We have been dedicated to providing the best and up to date curriculum for competing at the top horse shows and have successfully fostered an environment of camaraderie, team spirit and of welcoming new students and team members.
Coriander has shown its appreciation to its community by donating lessons to many fundraisers, fostering rescue horses, dogs, cats, and providing lessons to foster children as well as monetary donations to a variety of its local charities.
At Coriander we welcome you to visit and learn about our programs.

Katie Young has been actively involved in the horse business for over 40 years. After spending her childhood riding, she enrolled in the Horse Master School at Pacific Horse Center directed by Larry Langer in 1976. Upon graduation she worked at PHC for the following five years, as Barn Manager, Assistant Instructor/Trainer and Horse Master Instructor.
Since then she has had successful Hunter/Jumper businesses throughout the South and began Coriander Farm in Jacksonville in 1992. Her students have had many successes locally, regionally and nationally. Among those successes were her daughter Megan’s wins of the North American Equitation Championship, USEF Medal Finals and Maclay National Championship Finals. Katie is a Registered USEF Hunter, Hunter Breeding, Jumper and Hunter Seat Equitation Judge.
She believes that tailoring services to meet the needs of her individual clients and her vigilance in matching horse and rider has been the key to maintaining a successful business throughout the years. What makes the horse business so rewarding to Katie is the opportunity to help shape positive values, instill confidence and self esteem in the many young and dedicated riders.

Nashea started riding when she was eight years old and lived next door to a Hunter/Jumper show facility. She started with lessons there and soon owned her first horse “The Sound of Music”. Together they learned the ropes and were famous in the Junior Hunter division at “A” and “AA” shows throughout the southeast.
When she was fourteen she got her second horse, a jumper named “The Wiz”. Nashea’s talent qualified her with both of her horses to compete in the Junior Hunters, USEF Medal Finals, Jumpers and Amateur Owner Hunters at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show in Harrisburg three consecutive years. At Harrisburg Nashea earned ribbons in the hunters on “The Sound of Music” and was Champion of the North American League Jumper Finals on “The Wiz” in 2001 and placed fourth in 2002. She enjoyed her opportunities to ride under the instruction of many successful trainers during her career and has earned many championships at “A” and “AA” shows since becoming a professional. Nashea has been a big part of the Coriander Farm team since 2003, and has been invaluable in helping our students successfully compete, qualify and participate in Regional and National Horse Shows. She thoroughly enjoys being at the horse shows with her students whether we are in town or on the road.
Nashea’s love of the sport is reflected in her rapport with students of all ages and levels. She makes becoming a better horse person fun whether you want to compete locally or be a top premier show competitor!

- I have known and respected the owner of Coriander Farm as a top hunter jumper instructor, sales agent and judge for many years. Her excellent rapport with people of all ages enables her a sixth sense when matching horse and rider. Katie operates Coriander farm with an open and honest approach. I have appreciated her scruples when buying and selling horses in a not so scrupulous industry. She is my go to person whenever I have a question or need advice regarding my horses and riding.Pam CramerPam Cramer
