"Kelly and Spanky"

 

 

Hi, My name is Kelly!  I grew up on Catalina Island and started riding when I was 2 years old.  I also barrel raced, evented and reined for many years.  I have been riding on the team now for  about 4 years. 

Before riding with Rainbow Riders, I also rode on the Poway drill team called The Shooting Stars for 4 years. 

I work in HR at Walmart in San Diego. Besides riding on the team, I am also a Board member and Chairman for the drill team.  I have a wonderful husband and a son who cheer us and support me in my riding.

I ride several different horses on the team, my primary drill horse is named "Spanky".  He is a 10 year old gelding and is the son of Kimo and brother  to Spirit, two other drill horses. 

I love coming to drill because it's always a good time.  My most memorable moment was at Cool August Nights when we had costume problems.
