Katie Robison Named Program Director of Ride With Pride

Katie Robison has been named the new program director of Ride with Pride, according to Bill UpdeGraff, executive director of the therapeutic horsemanship organization.

"Katie ... has been an instructor with Ride with Pride since June, 2011," UpdeGraff said. "Before that time she was a dedicated volunteer.  She not only is a horsewoman but has many years experience as an elementary school teacher." 

"Katie has been riding horses since she was very young, and loves what she has learned from them -- patience, discipline and confidence," said Glenys Norwood, treasurer and board member. "Katie has ridden English and Western modes, but recently she has loved getting out on the trail."

"She owns a thoroughbred, Stryder, who we use in our program," Norwood said.  

"Katie has recently completed her Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, Int'l (PATH Int'l) certification," UpdeGraff said.

"She is a great team player and team builder," Norwood said.  "We're very lucky that she has agreed to join our program."
