Gone way too soon.

"Kelle was always a fellow non-pro competitor I looked up to. She had the most amazing feel and confident calmness when showing which I strived to follow.

Although we weren't close friends she sent me messages of hope and praise when we were competing together. My thoughts and prayers are with Kelle's family, friends and the reining community." ~Sheley Brien

“My heart breaks for Kelle’s most immediate family & friends & my condolences go to the entire reining community.

The loss can be felt in every building, barn & trailer here at the show. Kelle’s participation and contributions were vast & we ride on with her in our minds and hearts.” ~ Chelsea Sutton

Today, while in Oklahoma City for the NRHA Futurity, one of the Association’s most accomplished riders, Kelle Smith, passed away.

Pastor Mike Seay will be leading a prayer service in the Sale Arena 30 minutes following the conclusion of the Non Pro preliminary round. All are welcome to attend.

Kelle was fierce in everything she did, and that tenacity helped her win countless titles, including two NRHA Futurity Non Pro Championships. Yesterday, she competed on her horse See Ya Seven, and earned a spot in yet another NRHA Futurity Finals.

“On behalf of NRHA Board of Directors and Staff, I extend our most sincere condolences to Kelle’s husband Sam, her loved ones, the members of their team, and her friends throughout the reining industry. This is a loss that has hit so many of us hard,” shared NRHA President Rick Clark, who’s known Sam and Kelle for nearly 30 years. “Kelle was a tremendous competitor, and I always thought a lot of her.”

He added, “We plan to recognize Kelle this weekend during one of the Finals, and we will share details once they are finalized.”

Arrangements for a memorial service will be made in the coming days, and a memorial will be planned for mid-December, so that her family and friends can attend.
