Michelle Arnold, Ride Your Horse! Event Coordinator
Michelle Arnold was not particularly impressed the first time she saw a horse, but when she saw the look of excitement on her daughter's face she realized she was in it for the long haul.
"Once we got her a horse, she promptly got lost on trail and my hubby said if I didn't get a horse and go with her she could not continue to ride. So, I got my first horse."
Michelle is currently the event coordinator for Ride Your Horse! Therapeutic Riding Program. She is dedicated to creating change and building strong relationships with those in her community. She was a registered nurse for 13 years, specializing in clinical care, a Cub Scout leader for two and a Girl Scout leader for seven.
Originally Michelle became involved with RYH as a way to bond with her daughter Stephanie, who was already involved in the organization. As Michelle began attending events, her connection with RYH deepened.
After my first Special Olympics I was connected. I connected with kids, families, and other volunteers. I really gave it my all and found that I got so much more in return. I fell in love at Special Olympics and I haven't stopped falling yet.
Michelle is dedicated to the work she does at RYH and plans to remain with the organization for a long time.
"I am determined to see our program reach kids and adults who have not yet heard of us. I love seeing new volunteers connect with a specific child or family. I hope to foster and encourage those relationships. I love watching students blossom as they advance in their riding skills. I am constantly blown away by the growth I can see in our clients."
Michelle is presently working on becoming a NARHA certified instructor so that she can serve the program better.
