Carol grew up with horses and was attracted to Greenlock because she wanted to spend time with our gentle horses. She also welcomed the opportunity to be a visible example of how an adult with a disability can function in the real world.

Carol leads the horses from the paddocks to the arena and back, gets them ready for the upcoming client session by herself, or patiently instructs students how to groom and tack the horses.
