VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH — DECEMBER 2015

Rainbow’s December Volunteer of the Month is shared by our Mother/Daughter dynamic duo of Caroline and Sarah Noel.

Caroline and Sarah share an interest in horses and in helping others. They completed their volunteer training just this past August and have been helping with afternoon classes with instructor Emily Rist. Often they have been asked to fill in on short notice — we really appreciate their willingness to help us out! Together they provide Sidewalker support and groom the horses between classes.

Thank you Sarah and Caroline. We admire your family’s commitment to seeing that riders have the support they need and that classes can continue as scheduled!
