OUR TEAM
At Zephyr Creek Equestrian Center, our team is passionate about horses and dedicated to ensuring the best possible experience for our clients. We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for riders of all levels. Get to know the individuals who make our center a special place:
Kelley Morales has 30 years of experience in the equestrian world. She is proudly a level 1 center riding instructor, is certified in teaching side saddle, and has dabbled in most disciplines.
Kelley grew up in VA, and began riding at the age of 5. from there her passion for the sport and the horses grew. When she was 17 she moved to NY, to work with Sally Bauder, who quickly became more then just her trainer, but family. Sally introduced Kelley not only to dressage, but to many renowned instructors and clinicians. Shortly after Kelleys mom Karol McCarty also moved to NY to further her equine knowledge. Together, they opened a stable in Schenectady, HillCroft Stables, where Kelley worked under Sally and Karol for 20 years.
Late 2025 Kelley saw an opportunity to not only give Sally and Karol the retirement they deserve, but to fulfill her dream of owning her own farm.
That is where Zephyr Creek Equestrian Center started.
