Originally from Georgia, Caitie Holtzman grew up with a love of horses. In 2006 she moved to Texas, after high school graduation, with every intention of being in the horse industry. Caitie spent time in college earning a Master of Science in Ag Education and Equine. She then worked as an adjunct Professor in different Equine programs, rode horses for the public, and interned for other professional horsemen. Caitie now trains horses, performs, and teaches clinics full time along with being the Director of Clubs for the International Liberty Horse Association.
Elliot Holtzman was born and raised in North Texas. From horsemanship to crafting fencing and barns, playing piano and understanding primitive survival skills; Elliot holds a variety of knowledge. Being an entrepreneur since he was a teenager, Elliot took as much time as
he could afford to work as an intern with c**t starters and horse trainers in the industry. He has successfully competed in numerous c**t starting competitions, ranch horse events, and competed in the 2021 Snaffle Bit Futurity. Elliot is an adventurer at heart and in 2024, he and a couple of friends completed the Gaucho
Derby—a 500 kilometer horse race across Patagonia; the ultimate combination of horsemanship and survival.
Together, Caitie and Elliot Holtzman own and operate Versatile Horsemanship, LLC in Nocona, Texas. Their operation is a horse training and instruction-based business centered around starting c**ts, teaching clinics, and training Liberty horses. Both compete in NRHA Freestyle Reining, Cow Horse and Versatility Ranch Horse
events, Working Equitation, and are top competitors in the Liberty horse sport. Horses have taken the pair coast-to-coast, border-to-border, and around the world; from time spent holding clinics in Africa and Germany
to starting c**ts in competition at Heart of the Horse in Canada. Caitie and Elliot owe much of their journey to the horse and people God has placed in their lives through the horse. The pair have been performers and presenters at events such as Liberty Festival, Road to the Horse, Equine Affaire, Art of the Cowgirl, Western States Horse Expo and they are excited to be a part of The Horseman’s Mission in 2025. The Holtzman’s aim to
combine the art of horsemanship with exciting entertainment in their presentations, clinics, and performances.
