Meet Emily DeJong.
If you volunteer on the weekend you’ve probably already met her. She is currently a weekend Barn Assistant, which includes helping with field trips on Fridays and adaptive riding on Saturdays. Emily also steps in to cover our Barn Manager, Anna, as needed.
Emily is a recent graduate of Cazenovia College in upstate New York. She has a Bachelor of Professional Studies in Management with a specialization in Equine Business Management and a certificate in Equine Reproductive Management. But her love of horses and the sport all started back in middle school when she went off to horseback riding summer camp! While in college, she participated in the Cazenovia College IHSA team in western horsemanship and had the opportunity to become involved in reining classes as well. In her downtime, Emily enjoys working on embroidery projects, hiking, spending time with her cat, and tending her succulents.
Please introduce yourself the next time you see her in the barn!
