Laura DePaoli Laura DePaoli grew up in Putnam and Dutchess Counties, New York, where she has been involved in equestrian sports since her youth. Besides her close affinity with horses, Laura has had at various times goats, chickens and various other birds, a miniature donkey and rabbits. At the moment she enjoys the companionship of a black Lab, a Jack Russell Terrier and a cat. Before joining Kilshannagh, she worked in a range of positions in graphics, advertising, marketing and international equestrian travel. As well as her duties at the clinic, she manages to find time to be the manager of The Chris Mahoney Project (a guitar instrumental group), and to do freelance horse exercising and training. She has a teenage daughter, Taylor, who helps out at the clinic during her vacations. Taylors’ intention is to become a veterinarian, and she is working hard to attain that goal. Laura’s duties at Kilshannagh include working in reception, bookkeeping and ordering and helping the Doctors with their work. Besides being Mom to Taylor, Laura also enjoys horseback riding, music, art, yoga, hiking and travelling. |
