She lives on her family’s A Bit Better Farm in Unity, Maryland with her husband and two children along with a large variety of cats, dogs, horses and even a few more human family members! Kelley spends most of her time teaching lessons and retraining young off the track thoroughbreds as well as competing in eventing up through the Advanced level.
