Water Mill local Kelsey Calabro began riding horses at the age of four. Every moment outside of school was spent riding, grooming, mucking stalls, and loving every aspect and responsibility that comes with taking care of horses. Kelsey quickly realized that riding and competing was a passion she wanted to focus on more intently. 

 

Kelsey had a very successful junior career with Championships at prestigious shows such as; The Hampton Classic, Lake Placid, WEF, New York National, Kentucky, and many others. Under the tutelage of Laura Bowery, she moved up the ranks in the equitation and jumper divisions; qualifying and competing at USET Finals and working her way up to the U25 Grand Prix series and National Grand Prix level.  

 

Kelsey has spent many years managing top show programs, including Sea-Aire and Beach Acre Farm. Kelsey was able to work behind the scenes, meeting an amazing network of horse(wo)men and learning hands-on what it takes to run a successful team that produces great results at the top level of the sport. 

 

All of these experiences allowed Kelsey to expand her knowledge of riding, training, and management. Determined and ethically driven, Kelsey is eager to share her knowledge with the next generation of like-minded equestrians at Sea-Aire, Inc.
