Our Amazing Staff
Sarah has worked for programs that specialize in Therapeutic Riding and Hippotherapy as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy practices. She has experience as an Equine Manager, Equine Specialist, Riding Instructor, and Program Coordinator. She even spent four years developing and teaching courses on Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies at Middle Tennessee State University. She is a life long horse professional and her passion is teaching others about horses and horse behavior. Sarah and her four horses, two children, dogs, cats, chickens (a farm of her own) actually helped start WindWalkers in 2005. She is excited to be back with the Windwalkers family and growing her own.
I joined the International Dyslexia Foundation and become Certified in the Wilson Reading Program. The program is stylized and designed not only to teach dyslexic children but to teach all children who struggle with reading no matter the learning difference. After teaching this program to children over the past four years I have experienced what a difference individualized reading tutoring can make in a child’s reading performance and self esteem.
One-on-one tutoring with a high-quality, trained reading instructor makes a world of difference for a child. Unfortunately this type of specialized instruction can be expensive and financially prohibitive for many families; therefor I founded The Rock Star Readers to provide tutoring on a sliding scale. The mission of Rock Star Readers is to help children become better reader and enjoy their own genius. At present, you can find me teaching in the Reading and Riding summer camps at WindWalkers.
