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 11 and Callie 9) who love to be
around the horses and are very supportive of my time with the program.  

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.
