VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Maura Gilbert epitomizes the spirit of kindness and compassion, so on the rare occasion that she cannot make it to the barn to volunteer everyone misses her! For the past seven years she has been an outstanding volunteer and a very important part of our team. On any given day you could spot Maura bringing in horses, grooming and spoiling them. She may be doing barn chores, setting up games for the children or greeting the families at the door. You could find her engaging a child in a conversation while side walking or calming a pony while leading him, but you will always find her smiling :-)

It is also the things that you never see her do that are so vital to our program. Maura will quietly tell the instructor if a student or volunteer may need some special attention that day. Maura sees the world through her heart as well as her eyes. Her love for the children as well as love for nature is always apparent. We really appreciate her help!   For all these reasons Maura Gilbert has become our truly amazing and dedicated Volunteer Coordinator.
