You may have seen these two women around the farm in the past year...but did you know…

PAIGE BALL

Paige first came to Mane Stream as a high school volunteer where she assisted with adaptive riding and summer camp. She returned after graduating from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science in Education (major: Special Education and Rehabilitation Emphasis). Currently, she is working as an ABA in-home therapist during the week, teaching adaptive riding lessons on Saturdays at Mane Stream and teaches at Summer Camp. She is also in the process of completing her PATH Intl. certification to become a Certified Therapeutic Riding instructor (CTRI).

Paige was born and raised in NJ. She grew up on a farm in Warren, NJ, and has always enjoyed being around animals! Her passion for riding horses started when she was 2 years old, and she has been riding on and off for the past 23 years. She is excited to be back riding weekly now. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, spending time with friends, family, and her 1-year-old black lab named Beau.
