We would like to introduce you to Beth Gardner, our Administrative Assistant and Equine Assistant. She is the wearer of many hats! Some days she is in the office working in insurance claims and intake, other days you’ll find her with the horses. She loves being able to help in both of her “offices”.
Thank you Beth for all that you do!
