Personal
Single…Enjoys horse racing, being with family and riding horses…Found her horse Cleo through a Google search - she grew up riding a horse that went back to a horse named Dots Jessie. Cleo's mother is a daughter of Dots Jessie. She found Cleo on the internet so she went to look at the horse which was a scrawny little yearling she said. Kelli trained and competed on her at several futurities and she did a great job…Started the 2009 season with the goal of winning the rookie title in the Wilderness Circuit but thanks to traveling partners Danyelle Campbell and Sue Smith, she won the WPRA Rookie title as well…Grew up in a small farming community and began competing in 4-H rodeos and then went on to high school rodeo (where she first met Danyelle. In fact Danyelle and her father helped Kelli get her first horse). She went on to compete in college at Weber State University.
