Meet Kaiya

Growing up on a farm surrounded by dairy goats, chickens, horses, dogs, and cats, Kaiya developed a lifelong love for animals, especially horses. She has expanded her equine knowledge through Horse Bowl and Hippology competitions and 11 years of involvement in 4-H, where she developed valuable leadership and communication skills.

Following high school, Kaiya completed an equine internship in North Carolina, gaining hands-on experience in horse training and barn management.

Outside of work, Kaiya enjoys spending time with her Arabian mare, Serena, and her dog, Bandit. Whether training Serena, riding through town to the trails, attending 4-H horse and dog shows, or spending time with friends and family, animals continue to be a big part of her life.
