Rebecca Flanagan
Executive Director
Rebecca has been a horse lover all her life. After graduating from WVU with a degree in Agriculture and starting her career, she was able to purchase her first horse. Following through with her love of all things equine, Rebecca has done extensive study of horse behavior and became certified as a Horse Specialist in Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (Eagala Model). She spent time volunteering at a therapeutic riding center before deciding to open a place in her own community. She says that helping others through the use of horses is the best life she could ever imagine.
