I still love learning about these beautiful animals every single day! I look forward to each and every day going to "work". There is a wise old saying that goes, "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life"

April McCarty
Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist (CESMT)
Part Time Instructor
April has loved horses for as long as she can remember.
They were the first thing she mastered to draw as a young artist.
When she was 10, a neighbor started teaching her horsemanship and gave her some riding lessons.
The years flew by and April got married and started a family. Horses had to be put on hold. Fast forward a few years...
In 2013, April was searching for how she could get back into the horse world.
She reached out to a few facilities in her area but, nothing seemed to pan out.
Undaunted in her desire to get back into horses, she came upon a facility that was very close to her home and matched her interests!
She sent a short fun and quirky email to them expressing her interest in volunteering at their barn. Since then, April has been a faithful volunteer, with regular chores and Summer Horse Camps! April learned so much about horse care, behavior, tack etc.. over the years and realized a life-long dream of owning her own horse! She is now the proud owner of her very own wonderful Quarter Horse Cross Mare "Bella"
She enjoys attending riding clinics and shows such as Devon.
April’s main interest is Dressage, she enjoys the challenge it lends the rider to give quiet and subtle aids to create the form and movements in the horse.
As of May 23rd, 2021 April has earned her certification in Equine Sports Massage Therapy!
