Volunteer Spotlight Scott Roddan


Volunteer Spotlight, Scott Roddan

Scott started volunteering for Free Rein because he wanted to be around horses. What he found out is that the kids are awesome! His favorite part is working with the kids and he was surprised at his reaction to working with the kids.  One rider in particular really captured his heart.

Scott is originally from California and moved to the Spokane area to be closer to family.  If you ask Scott where he wants to be though, Nashville Tennessee is where you would find him. Something you might not know about him is that he is a very talented musician.
Something else you might not know about Scott, is that he is an actor.  He loves to be in front of the camera and has been in several films as an extra or stand-in and as a leading character!   He was in a film called “Killing Snakes” and one of the films he was in was part of the Cannes Film Festival. His most recent role was in an Independent Film called “Catch Hell”. See the trailer here

Scott believes that horses are one of the best mirrors.  They reflect our own struggles and frustrations back to us.  His pet peeve is people who are impatient with horses.

The advice Scott would give to someone who is interested in becoming involved with Free Rein is, “If you have any inkling that this is something of interest to you, you should at least try it.”.

Thank you, Scott for all of the time you give us! We love having you (and Peanut) as part of our Free Rein “family”.
