Gray Kyle-Graves

Gray grew up loving horses, and began riding as early as she can remember. From a smiling toddler, sharing a saddle with her mom, to a horse crazy kid, coming up in the hunter/jumper world, she has always felt a connection with, and a calling to work with horses. Since 2009, Gray has been the HDR Trainer and Barn Manager, with the wonderful herd at Happy Dog Ranch, a nonprofit therapeutic horse rescue and sanctuary.  There she has had the opportunity to learn from countless teachers, both four-legged, and two-legged. Gray believes that working with horses is an endless journey, and she strives to always be a student of the horse, first and foremost. She has been supported in that by her work with horseman Mark Rashid, with whom she has had the honor to work since 2009, and has assisted as a student instructor since the fall of 2014. Her other human teachers include Linda Tellington-Jones, Tracy Vroom, Jim Masterson, and others, who have helped her experience new levels of understanding in her work as a trainer, as a horsemanship coach, and as an equine body worker. Gray strives to offer softness to every horse, and brings gratitude to every day she gets to share with them.
