It all started in early 2009 with a teen-aged girl, a horse, and a dream.
I grew up around horses always knowing that somehow, someday I would find a way to make this passion into a meaningful career. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would find my path and that this wild dream would come true 9 years later at the age of 26.
When I was in high school my grandfather had a stroke which made him lose control over the right side of his body. He was always the active type, out puttering in his workshop and playing ball with us kids. When he had his stroke he was devastated and felt as if he lost hope. I stayed with him day in and day out and watched the life his therapists brought back into him. I knew then what my calling was in life, to become and Occupational Therapist (and no, I am not a job coach..more on that later!).
Now - how to combine horses and Occupational Therapy...? I was watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition with my Mom one night and watched them rebuild a therapeutic riding facility called Freedom Hills, located in Maine. I remember happy crying at the end of the episode because it was then I knew what I was destined to do for the rest of my life - to open a therapeutic riding facility in my community.
