Kaitlyn Cole

Veterinary Technician

Kaitlyn grew up in Mine Hill, NJ where she still resides with her family. Her love of horses began at the age of 12 when her grandfather gifted her with 4 riding lessons. With those 4 lessons, her love of horses grew into a passionate hobby. Kaitlyn enjoyed spending time at the barn to the point she would use her spare time helping do whatever barn chores needed to be done. Kaitlyn then started teaching beginner lessons. It gave her great joy to see her students with smiles on their faces. In 2021, Kaitlyn welcomed her horse Seven into the family. Kaitlyn focuses mainly on barrel riding.

In her spare time, Kaitlyn enjoys spending time with her family, friends and riding Seven.

Madeline Lake

Veterinary Technician

Maddie grew up in Morris Plains, NJ. Her interest in horses started, at 9 years old, when her mom signed her up for English riding lessons. She immediately fell in love with the horses, and it soon became a passion. Her love for horses continued to grow when her friends had introduced her to Western riding, at the age of 15. She joined a local 4H group in which she participated in County fairs, summer camps, and fundraisers. She spent the majority of her time at the barn- grooming horses, maintaining their fields, and aiding with daily barn chores. She and her friends would also enjoy the occasional trail ride, but her favorite was letting the horses run free.
