Kelly Kaminski started her love affair with horses at a very young age. She bought her first horse at the age of twelve. Years of hard work and determination paid off, and eventually she qualified for the 1995 AQHA World Show in pole bending with Rusty. In the meantime, Kelly had begun training Rockem Sockem Go (Rocky) for barrel racing.
Rocky and Kelly qualified for the World Show in barrel racing in 1997 and 1998, placing 6th on their 2nd trip, fulfilling a long-held dream for Kelly. Not long after, Kelly decided to resign her teaching position and join the professional rodeo circuit. In 2002, Kelly and Rocky finally qualified for the National Finals Rodeo where they finished in 2nd place.
Kelly is a 2-time World Champion and a 5-time NFR qualifier. She is living her dream.
