Congratulations Amanda Rector - on completing your NARHA certification!

Please Join me in congratulating Amanda Rector on her recent completion of the rigorous NARHA certification program last weekend. She has passed the national tests and is now fully certified as a therapeutic riding instructor.

We first met Amanda in the early spring this year, as she showed interest in Volunteering at LifeStriders. Amanda is an elementary school teacher who grew up around horses in Nebraska, and found herself here in Wisconsin looking to help serve her new community.

After volunteering a few times, Amanda was very quick to catch on to teaching therapeutic riding at LifeStriders and she has quickly become a class favorite among her students. It's obvious that Amanda has excellent skills in teaching riding, but it's her compassion for the riders and giving spirit that make her such a valuable asset at LifeStriders.

The next time you see Amanda, please congratulate her on her achievment and thank her for her commitment to serving her community.
