Here’s a bit more about Susie!
How long have you been volunteering at Forward Stride and why did you start?
Volunteering at Forward Stride is a privilege, an opportunity to give back, to make a contribution, and to stay active after retiring from a long career in Nursing.
I have been at Forward Stride for 7 years…a perfect fit for me.
Who is your favorite horse?
Each of the ponies and horses I have worked with, have their own personalities, characteristics, and quirks. What is universal, is they all sense the vulnerability of the rider.
Do you have a hobby you love to spend time on?
I love reading a good book, tending our miniature vineyard and making wine, yard work, and knitting socks.
What is one piece of advice you would give a new volunteer?
Strive to make a difference each day in someone’s life. A smile, an encouraging word, a simple hello, are all powerful ways to acknowledge those around us.
