farm in southern Missouri and learned how to ride at eight.
When I was twelve years old, I read an article about equine
therapy and tucked it away in my mind as a dream job I would love
to have one day. Marriage, motherhood x 2, moving across the
country x 2 and finally settling in a suburb seemed to reduce it
from a dream job to simply a dream. When my husband brought
home a copy of a bulletin he found at work about EAT, I couldn’t
stop smiling. I started volunteering at the end of March ’05 and
was pursuing certification by the beginning of May. My dream of
becoming an instructor came true in May 2006 with my certification
through NARHA. I’m excited to be working with my two favorite
things in life – horses and children and can’t wait to make a
difference in the lives of our students and their families!
