Miss Christine Kaelble
Miss Chris as known by her students, has over 38 years of experience with horses, and has been teaching riding lessons for over 20 years. Miss Chris has a BS in Equine Studies from Centenary University (formerly Centenary College) where she competed on their winning ISHA team, as well as being as part of the Equine Club and Hunter team. She also has a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University.
Upon graduation from Centenary Miss Chris worked briefly at a dude ranch, until she came back to the area and started teaching riding lessons. In 2010 she became a traditional riding instructor with Atlantic Riding Center for Health, earned her therapeutic riding instructor certification as well and worked for them until they closed in August of 2012. She then continued teaching as Chris Kaelble Riding Instruction at the barns where she boarded her horses.
Besides working in the equine industry, Miss Chris, has spent the last 24 years working in the Atlantic City School District holding positions of Substitute Teacher, Instructional Aide in Special Education Classrooms, Kindergarten Paraprofessional and Preschool Paraprofessional.
Working with students throughout the grade levels through the years Miss Chris has learned how to work with many different challenges the students have.
Miss Chris takes her years of education and experience and finds the best way to work with each rider individually. Some riders need more verbal support and direction, some need more visual and some days they just need to walk and talk as they've had a rough day at school. She does her best to make them all feel comfortable on the farm and around the horses.
Although she doesn't ride as much as she'd like, in 2022 Miss Chris tied for Grand Champion in Long Stirrup at the Seahorse Equestrian Show Series.
As a trainer in 2021 she was 2nd place trainer for the Suffolk Stables Horse Show Series and 3rd place trainer for 2022.
In 2019, she joined The Cape May Carriage Company as stable help until 2021 and a carriage driver from 2019 until 2022. In the summer of 2023 she began working part time as stable help at Annica Farm 2 mornings a week.
Hope continues to ride and compete. She was the Reserve Champion in Pleasure for 2023 and Reserve Champion in Long Stirrup for the Seahorse Equestrian LLC's Show Series in 2022. In both 2021 and 2022 she was the Grand Champion in English Pleasure for the Suffolk Stables Horse Show Series. She also rode the Reserve Champion and 4th place horses for the year 2022 in the Open Hunter division at Suffolk as well.
Miss Hope Morris
Miss Hope, or just Hope, as the riders call her has been riding on and off for most of her 29 years, since she got on her first horse at 6 months old. She followed in her mother's footsteps and attended Centenary University for Equine Business Management as well as Accounting. She also rode on their ISHA team while she was there.
In 2010 Hope began to volunteer with the Atlantic Riding Center for Health. She worked with the therapeutic lessons as well as helped out around the barn and with traditional lessons.
Miss Hope has worked as stable help both during and after attending Centenary, including Sara Schmitt Dressage LLC., Nicole Weaver, Westphalen Farms, and she even did a year as a barn worker at the Centenary Equestrian Center.
