KATIE McGivern rarely has a second of free time but it has ever been thus. She was bred in the purple, daughter of jockey and trainer Tommy, who sadly passed away in 2020, and Joanna Morgan, the history-making, no-nonsense jockey/trainer from Wales.

McGivern saw hard work in racing and trading from as long as she could remember. Though she dabbled in the former as a jockey, it was the sales that intrigued her and drew her in, even after she qualified as a physio.
