Deb is a long-time resident of Greenfield and began horseback riding at Stoney B. Acres at the age of 5 and was a familiar face up through her teenage years.  Deb worked for the Town of Amherst and Deerfield for 22 years and recently elected to take an early retirement to pursue her passion of Therapeutic Riding.

.  

After the loss of her Mom and Dad within 1 year of each other, Deb returned to Stony B Acres.  While there, she was able to heal her heart through the bond of horses and find peace. In the midst of that, she knew she was right where GOD wanted her to be.

​

She received her certification through PATH as a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor in December 2021. Deb joined Courageous Strides in 2022 and was nominated as President.  She is eager to help spread the joy of how a horse can communicate with us and give us joy. She is passionate and eager to show you a journey through horsemanship.  

​

Deb has been married for 22 years to her husband, Jeff and has two stepchildren, Christopher and Melissa.
