Meet the Staff

Rose is our Barn Manager and Volunteer Coordinator here at Riding High Farm. In 2010 she spent 9 months in Florida attending Disney’s College Program. While there, she obtained certificates in Psychology and Leadership. When she returned to NJ, she was a Kennel Manager and Veterinary Assistant for 4 years before she called Riding High her home. Outside of work, she takes pride in her ability to craft just about anything she dreams of. Her time is spent in parks or fairgrounds enjoying life to the fullest.

Linda started volunteering at Riding High Farm after she retired in 2018. Her dedication and love for the program grew through the years. In 2020 she joined the team as an instructor’s assistant and the Assistant Barn Manager. Linda is currently working toward becoming a certified Path Instructor. 

After earning her master's degree in anthropology, Tabitha later received her PATH certification and began teaching at RHF in 2016. Today, Tabitha's interests in accessibility and disability services extend to her primary profession as a library assistant. She is an active member of her library's accessibility task force and also holds a Certificate in Disability Access and Inclusion.  In her spare time, Tabitha enjoys cooking, hiking, and leash-walking her cats.

Kim started as a volunteer at Riding High in 2009. After seeing the difference therapeutic riding made in people’s lives she decided to pursue a certification through the NARHA (now PATH) program offered at Centenary College. Upon completion of the program and passing the required testing she started working at Riding High as a certified instructor on the weekends. Since that time, she has transitioned to a substitute teacher at Riding High, but cherishes the times when she is able to fill in.

Chloe has been riding and working with horses for ten years. She found great joy at a young age in assisting people through horses and teaching them about these marvelous animals. Chloe started out riding and competing in the English discipline and currently barrel races. She owns two quarter horses, and in the past decade she hasn’t allowed a week to pass without being engaged in activities involving horses – including finding locations to ride while on vacation. Chloe is a volunteer trainer and lesson assistant. She plans to share her knowledge and love of horses with our program volunteers as well as learn and grow as an equestrian.

Caitlyn is an ASHA certified Speech Language Pathologist and lifelong horse lover. She is also certified in the DIR®/Floortime™ Model of developmental intervention and a PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor. Caitlyn is in the process of becoming an AHA board certified Hippotherapy Clinical Specialist.
 In her spare time, she enjoys reading, writing, playing video games, board games and spending time with her personal horses.

Kait grew up here at Riding High Farm. As the Director’s daughter, she was raised around horses. With her early acceptance of people with special needs, she never saw them as different but as an equal. Kait’s passion was softball, but she always managed to get in some pony love. As an adult she continued her work with special needs children as a teaching assistant/behavioral technician working with children in the public school system. Kait currently assists with lessons as a teaching assistant here at RHF.
