The MVRU Team
We are lucky to have a team of dedicated staff members, board members, and volunteers.
“Working with horses and people at MVRU is rewarding, fulfilling, and a whole lot of fun!”

She has been riding horses for 50 years and brings to MVRU over 30 years of experience teaching humans how to develop safe, fair, and pleasurable relationships with horses through their pursuit of pleasure, companionship and sport.
