Greetings!
February Greetings! Brrrrrr! We hope everyone is staying warm and safe during this last arctic cold blast upon Colorado. Thank you to all who have helped this week with the horses - cleaning stalls and getting them out into the arenas to 'play' in these sub-zero temperatures. We are all very excited to have a warming trend in our near future!
Please enjoy this newsletter -- we want to introduce you to a couple of new faces, share some GREAT news, and also let you know about a couple of really fun upcoming events. Read on....

Welcome Our Newest Staff Member
 | | Amy Tripson in the saddle! |
Hello, my name is Amy Tripson and I am the new Office Assistant at Hearts & Horses. I cannot say how excited I am to be here and be part of such an amazing organization! In January I relocated to Wellington, so I am a Colorado newbie! I did my undergrad at St. Andrews Presbyterian College where I swam, rode and ran Cross Country. After I graduated I moved to Southern Illinois for Graduate school and graduated with my Masters of Science in Education in Kinesiology and Sport and Exercise Behavior this past May. I have done a lot of traveling over the past few years, from working in Texas to visiting Mount Rushmore last year. I am currently training for a half ironman and am looking forward to exploring more of Colorado in my spare time! My love of horses has always followed me where ever I go, and I am so fortunate to now be able to not only work with an amazing group of people and volunteers, but also to be around horses all day long. I look forward to meeting everyone, so please stop in and say Hello!

Welcome Bailey, Spring 2014 Intern
 Hello all! My name is Bailey and I am the new intern at Hearts & Horses for the spring semester. This is my final semester at Colorado State University before I graduate with my Bachelors of Social Work and I still cannot believe that I get to spend it at Hearts & Horses! I am a Coloradan, born and raised, and while my family has lived in the city, our chickens, massive garden and other animals can attest to our affinity for country life. I love animals, music, baking, being outdoors and discovered a new love/hate for running last year as I trained for and finished my first marathon! My desire to work with animals was surrendered to an even greater passion for working with people but I have found the best of both worlds within the incredible Hearts & Horses community. After graduating I hope to earn my Masters of Social Work and start my career working in alternative therapies with a variety of populations. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during my time here and hope that the New Year is bringing you new opportunities for adventure!
