June Volunteer Spotlight

Hannah is native Austinite and recent graduate of a Physical Therapist Assistant program. She is also a life-long horse lover. Her first “official” experience with horses came during the summer after second-grade when she went to a horseback riding camp just outside of Austin. It was there that she caught “the horse woman fever” as it is sometimes called. She spent the next fifteen years competing in hunter-jumper events and rode for the equestrian team at Tarleton State University through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. Hannah is as passionate about fitness and wellness as she is about horses- when she’s not at work or at the Ranch, she likes to train for long-distance running and take her two greyhounds out for adventures on the town. Her knowledge of physical therapy combined with her passion for our students, our horses, and fitness make her a fantastic student instructor! She has no problem choosing a favorite horse- it is definitely Player, with whom she shares a special connection. Her favorite things about Player are his puppy-like personality and the patient and gentle way he interacts with our students.
