Hi Level Green family. As some of you may have heard, our wonderful stall cleaner, Luis, had to undergo unexpected bypass surgery last week. Luis and his wife Maria have been part of the Level Green family for almost five years now, and they've been such a wonderful asset to our barn community — including their youngest daughter, who participates in our lessons and camp programs.

Luis shows up for this barn every single day, rain or shine, always with a smile and a hard work ethic. Now it's our turn to show up for him.

Recovery from bypass surgery means time away from work, and multiple medical bills. We've set up a GoFundMe to help ease that burden for Luis, Maria, and their children during this difficult time. Any amount helps, and sharing this post with friends who know and love our barn family means just as much as a donation.

As many of you may have heard, our wonderful stall cleaner, Luis, had … Jessica Ropelewski needs your support for Support Luis's Recovery After Bypass Surgery
