Kelly has long admired horses, writing in one of her earliest blog posts for BravoTV.com, "I love their athleticism and playfulness. I am hooked." In that same post, she talked about what it's like to get back on a horse after being injured by one. "Like I always tell my girls, 'Killorens always finish strong.'" We wish lots of strength to Kelly and her family in their time of loss.
