VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH — JANUARY 2016

Rainbow Volunteer of the Month for January 2016 is Margee Tyrrell (Margee is left of the lift in a dark knit cap, assisting.).

Margee’s interest in horses and in helping others led her here to Rainbow in October of 2015. And we’re so glad! Margee has enthusiastically jumped in with afternoon lessons, Mane Experience, and with Wounded Warriors. Margee is here more days of the week than not……helping with some aspect of Rainbow’s lesson programs. She has also offered her expertise in designing forms for tracking lesson progress.

Thank you Margee for your enthusiastic help! We’re so glad you’re one of our valued Rainbow Family!

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH — DECEMBER 2015

Rainbow’s December Volunteer of the Month is shared by our Mother/Daughter dynamic duo of Caroline and Sarah Noel.

Caroline and Sarah share an interest in horses and in helping others. They completed their volunteer training just this past August and have been helping with afternoon classes with instructor Emily Rist. Often they have been asked to fill in on short notice — we really appreciate their willingness to help us out! Together they provide Sidewalker support and groom the horses between classes.

Thank you Sarah and Caroline. We admire your family’s commitment to seeing that riders have the support they need and that classes can continue as scheduled!
