Cheyne Ranch is making a very significant investment in our staff this November. Five of us, Sally, Anna, Katie, Erin and Emma, will spend seven days in Arizona, with six days devoted to learning and team development. The heart of the trip is a four-day Intensive Adaptive Horsemanship and Riding Instructor Development Clinic, co-led by Sally’s longtime business coach and mentor, Saebra Pipoly, owner of Hoof Falls & Footfalls. We will also visit Equine Connections, LLC, an adaptive riding program owned by Sally’s sister, and participate in a team-building trail ride. Between tuition, airfare, lodging, transportation, and a full week away, this is an expensive undertaking for a small nonprofit. We believe it is worth doing because strong programs require knowledgeable, connected staff, and our students and horses deserve that investment.
