Business Owner

Having grown up on a horse farm as a child, being around horses was something I had always taken for granted. After starting to take in rescue horses at my own property as an adult, it took one visit from an amazing group of autistic children to open my eyes to the value of a horse’s love. I was amazed with the children’s response to what I considered to be ordinary horses. It was at that point that I realized these rescue horses had a bigger purpose in life. I vowed to make the horses the super stars they really were and give them a chance to shine their light on the lives of both children and adults in my community. I applied for the 501©(3) non-​profit status so I could gain support in turning my new found vision into a reality. The Illinois Horse Rescue of Will County was established and a new opportunity was created for all. I am proud to be the leader of an organization that continues to be a shining star, bringing hope and second chances to the lives of both horses and people.
