Kayleen Cordes

I am passionate about Jesus and horses, and I seek to integrate these passions in my daily journey as well as my future. My desire is to impact the lives of horses and people through the abilities and love that God has grown in me, not being the final destination but rather acting as a stepping stone, leading both people and horses to a better life full of love, trust, and dignity.
