Kayla Diehl

Kayla began riding and showing at an early age. She came to Willow South at the end of the summer of 2002 when she was 12. While with us, she acquired her own horse, a grey OTTB named Deno’s Last Chance. Together, Deno and Kayla successfully moved from Beginner Novice through Training Level. Pictures of Kayla and Deno can be seen on the Willow South photo pages 2003-2005. Shortly after graduating from Willow South, Kayla began training with her new horse, Captain Arias, in December 2006. At that time Captain, also an OTTB, had not been in training for almost two years. Kayla worked with Captain and soon had him back in shape and they quickly progressed from Beginner Novice to Training Level. Now their goal is to move to the Preliminary Level. Kayla will be a freshman at GCSU in Milledgeville this fall 2007. Captain will be going with her as they plan to continue to train and compete during college.
