Greetings NODA Juniors and Young Riders!
My name is Christa Sandy and I look forward to meeting you and
working with you as your NODA Junior/Young Rider Liaison.
You can look forward to fun parties, clinics and more!
Did you hear about the fun Wild About Dressage Party on June

Issue 7 for fun pictures and news.
Working with youth and animals has always been my passion! I
began my career as a special education teacher until taking time
off to enjoy being a stay at home mom with my two kids, John and
Maria. When both of my kids began school, I went back to work
as an Education Program Specialist at Lake Erie Nature & Science
Center. Here I had the opportunity to share wildlife and our
natural world with students of all ages, and even lend a hand
caring for our ambassador animals and rehabilitating injured
local wildlife.
My introduction to horses began in 2011 when my daughter, Maria,
began taking pony camps at Rocky River Stables at 6 years old.
A year later my son, John, and I began taking lessons, and we
soon realized we were all hooked on a new way of life at the
barn.
At Rocky River Stables, I work with Valley Riding, Inc., in the
office, teaching camps, and working with our therapeutic riding
program. Most of my spare time is spent at the barn enjoying
trail riding my favorite Rocky Mountain mares, taking lessons,
and enjoying time with my kids and their friends. Coordinating
volunteers, grooming horses, strolling down the trail, watching
lessons, setting jumps, and being a horse show mom are moments I
treasure. I am always so proud of my own kids and all our
barn youth and impressed with the maturity of kids “raised in a
barn”.
Now that you know a bit about me, it’s time to get to know each
of you. I hope that you will be in touch to provide
suggestions, or to just share your horse or dressage
experiences.
