Kimber DiTalloKimber DiTallo
Kimber has been a working professional in the equine industry in Illinois since 2000. Prior to her Illinois experience she rode and competed as a junior, amateur and professional in California. Kimber's showing and training experience range from the baby green hunters through preparing horses in the Grand Prix level. Riding in both the 3'6" hunter divisions and up to the 1.3M jumper levels gives Kimber a broad understanding of both disciplines and their unique challenges.

Over the years, Kimber has both hosted and participated in clinics with Melanie Smith-Taylor, Linda Allen, Chris Kappler, Julie Winkel, Michael Page, and Frank Madden. Kimber was one of the first 25 professionals to obtain the USHJA's Trainers Certification Level 1 certificate in 2010. Kimber was the Zone 5 coordinator and National Host for the 2011 EAP National Finals. One of Kimber's strongest skills is her ability to create a fun, encouraging and supportive learning environment. Kimber believes that great riders are also great horsepeople and looks for ways to draw from a variety of sources for inspiration and instruction.

Kimber also held numerous positions in a 19-year career with ADP, which ended in a position as a Manager of Skills and Development Training. Kimber holds a Degree in Human Resource Management from San Jose State University.
