Our 
Story

Get to Know Kailey

I grew up with horses, and my mom volunteered at a therapeutic riding program when I was in grade school. I always wanted to volunteer, so when I turned 14 and became eligible, I was in the barn helping with lessons. I fell in love with the industry and volunteered all through high school. While pursuing my bachelor's in agribusiness at Tarleton State University, I became a PATH Intl Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor in 2023. In addition to my love for the industry, I have a deep love for the Lord. Upon graduating from Tarleton with my MBA, I decided to combine my passions by starting a non-profit therapeutic riding program in Erath County.

​

Fun fact: I love to travel! Two of my favorite places I've visited are Bath, UK, and Capri, Italy!
