Hi, my name is Lori Rood.  I have been involved with EAT since the Spring of 2005.  I
learned about the program through a family friend, and being an avid horse lover, the
program quickly sparked my interest.  I have been a horse lover for my whole life, and I
also love working with children, so it was a perfect fit.  As I became more involved with the
program, and discovered what a great group of participants and volunteers I was working
with, I couldn’t help but get more involved which led me to become an instructor.  Sharing
my passion for horses with the participants is the most rewarding experience I could ever
imagine.  

I have a wonderful husband and two great kids (Dustin 1
1 and Callie 9) who love to be
around the horses and are very supportive of my time with the program.  We also have
two
guinea pigs, four green tree frogs  and a yellow Labrador retriever named “Louis.”   It
proves to be a very active and entertaining household, and we all love it!

I feel so lucky to be part of such a great program.  There is nothing better than seeing the
sparkle in a rider’s eyes, or the smile of accomplishment followed by a big hug around the
horses neck.  I look forward to making many more special memories with all of our riders,
our generous volunteers and these wonderful animals that make it all possible.
