Meet Our Team

Jamie Winter

Barn Manager & PATH Intl. Certified Riding Instructor

From a young age Jamie always wanted to work with individuals that have developmental and intellectual disabilities. After graduating from High School Jamie decided that she wanted to become more involved in enriching the lives of children and adults, through horses. Jamie looked for a way that she could incorporate both of her passions together when she came across PATH Intl. Since learning about PATH Intl., she has successfully completed their instructor program and loves her career. Everyday Jamie is able to see the benefits, dedication and growth that her students acquire. Her students leave with a smile and excitement over their achievements with horses. Jamie hopes to continue building strong relationships with her students, and to raise awareness regarding the therapeutic benefits that horses provide.
