Christina Perry
You may have noticed that Christina Perry is adding to her time at Forward Stride as a vaulting lunger. After many years as a valued volunteer, she took the plunge to hone an existing skill set and is now a valuable member of our vaulting crew. Christina has a good eye for detail and is a kind, clear communicator, which is appreciated by the horses and vaulters alike. Thank you for joining us!
Joel
We welcome Joel Irish back to our facilities team. He is a long time community member who has returned to our employee ranks after a long break. We appreciate his skills with landscaping, painting, doing repairs, and manning the tractor for various projects. If you see him around, let him know how much we appreciate his time and efforts.
Kat and Heather
Although we will miss her dearly, we are excited for Kat Kendall, Marketing and Communications Coordinator, as she moves on to new life endeavors. She will remain in the equine field as an equine podiatrist and trainer, bringing compassion and knowledge to the clients and horses in her care. We will miss her collaboration and sunny personality. While we are sad to see Kat go, the timing has worked out well for Heather Sutherland to return to the role as an interim position. It is lovely to see her back in the office more regularly and to see her fresh perspective after her intensive studies in the field.
Rebeca
We are sad to announce that Rebeca Beeman has made the difficult decision to end her time with us as a therapist for now as she prepares for new life changes. We will miss her ability to connect with clients and her cheery smile on Fridays.
We offer our sincerest thanks to our outgoing staff for their hard work and dedication and wish them well on their future endeavors. And to our newer staff members, welcome and we’re so glad you’re here!
