Sam Kelly

  • My name is Samantha Kelly
  • I’m known as Sam
  • I’m from Auckland, New Zealand
  • This is my first year on staff at Falling Creek
  • I’m teaching horseback riding
  • In NZ I work with Standardbred horses in a Harness racing barn, I am responsible for all of the day-to-day care for some very successful racehorses!
  • Early bird or night owl? I have a great bond with my cozy bed but nothing beats the feeling of getting up before the sun and watching the sunrise. Waking up early and being productive is the best feeling!
  • If I could live anywhere in the world for a year, I would love to live in Greece! Live out my best Mamma Mia life, it looks like a beautiful place. With warm temperatures for most of the year would mean every day is the perfect day to swim and island hop.
  • What’s my favorite way to get in some exercise? I love being active and exercising but my favourite way to get exercise in is by making anything into a competition. I love being competitive, or playing a game another side of me comes out and makes me dig deeper than anything. This way it barely feels like exercise is something you have to do like a chore but an activity you can really enjoy.
