Kelly’s love for horses began around the age of nine where she began riding ponies for a local hunter barn in eastern North Carolina. As an active member of NCHJA, 4H, and FFA growing up, her love for horses only continued to grow. Living in North Carolina, she had the opportunity to own the best Haflinger mare through the end of her show career and her retirement. She also trained her own Thoroughbred gelding to be a solid citizen and pleasure horse.

Kelly has been attending Midway University where she’s been double majoring in Equine Rehabilitation and Accounting, along with minoring in Business. She has also ridden on the Midway University IHSA Hunt Seat Team and held a position on the Midway Horse Council throughout her years at school, and is expected to graduate May of 2025.

Kelly is certified in Equine Myofacial Release and is currently working towards her certification in Cranio-Sacral Therapy as well through Holistic Animal Studies.

Kelly joined the Lettleiki Team in Spring of 2024 as our Administrative Assistant/Equine Therapist and has been a willing positive addition to our team! She assists in many things including marketing projects, record keeping, merchandise organization and much more. Her calm personality is very soothing and our horses she has done massage work on enjoy their sessions with her immensely!
