Lisa is one of our newer volunteers but she jumped in with both feet. She has been spending tons of time in the office helping out and volunteering as a side walker and leader. She came to us with experience from a therapeutic riding program in Colorado, from where she just moved. She thinks it is great to see the kids and the horses.
A couple of her favorite moments at Free Rein have been when one of our riders, who was coming every week but just not ready to get on the horse, finally got on. Lisa said it was “pretty rewarding” and she loved how the rider jabbered the whole time because she was so excited to be riding.
Another favorite moment was when she found out that Whistle is pregnant. What, you hadn’t heard yet? Yep, Whistle is going to be a mamma.
Something that might surprise you about Lisa, or what not many people know, is that she is a Salsa dancer. She has been dancing for 7 or 8 years. She has participated in competition and was on a performance team in Seattle. She and her dance partner won the State Championship in Colorado. With dance she has travelled and competed all over the world including Puerto Rico, Miami and Texas.
Lisa doesn’t have a favorite horse here at Free Rein. She loves them all.
Lisa loved the Barn Dance and plans to continue to go every year. She and her husband won a mandolin and now her hubby (who plays guitar) is trying to teach himself to play their newly won instrument.
Welcome to Free Rein, Lisa. Thank you so much for your time and dedication to helping our riders and keeping the office organized.
