Kira grew up riding with her mom on their Appaloosa gelding named Bug.
One of her fondest memories is dozing off in the front of the saddle, while her mom took her on long trail rides through the fields of Vermont. When she was sixteen, her family sold their home and went out on the road to do photography for missions organizations around the country. This was easy to do, as they were a homeschooling family of five!
In 2013, Kira moved to North Georgia and started volunteering at Angels on Horseback in Jasper, where she was introduced to Parelli Natural Horsemanship. By the end of 2013, Kira’s life took a new direction, as she decided to work towards being certified as a Parelli Professional.
She is now teaching horsemanship lessons at Genesis Farm in Cumming, GA.
In August 2014, she adopted a 4 year old mare named Patience from Save the Horses, and is working through the Parelli levels with her. What Kira really loves to do is help people to better understand horse behavior and to “read” their horse’s body language. This enables horse lovers to not only be safer, but to make a closer connection with their horses through “love, language and leadership.” (Pat Parelli)
