Kelly Krieselmeier & Iced Mocha At Sunrise "Mocha"
Tucson, Arizona
I'm thrilled with our accomplishment of 2000 hours. Thank you AQHA for offering this awesome opportunity for All Breeds. My buddy, "Iced Mocha at Sunrise" affectionately called Mocha, and me have had fantastic adventures and I'm definitely enjoying the ride!! We hope to continue our adventures and I've re-enrolled us in the program.
Mocha is a 19-year-old 1/2 Arabian and 1/2 Paint Gelding. Mocha joined our family seven years ago and he's literally a treasured family member. He's helped me obtain my goal of a dressage championship, not just one, but 5!! In Western Dressage through Level 1. We've successfully completed a mounted police horse training clinic and walked through fire! We love trail riding, and exploring our Arizona state parks and can't wait for many more memories together!
