Rochelle Kilberg

Rochelle Kilberg can remember the moment she fell in love with horses.  She was about 10 years old living on the family farm when her brother got his first horse. Her father recognized her fond interest in horses and gave her a wonderful palomino pony named Blondie. She was hooked! Bitten by the horse bug she went on to become a 4-H and Pony Club member competing in dressage, jumping and eventing during her youth. Jump forward 38 years, she is now an accomplished Elite Grand Prix Dressage Rider and High-Performance coach.
