We are THRILLED to make this announcement- please welcome back Grayson Hesser-Dykas to Rivendell as the Assistant Barn Manager! Grayson will be supervising shifts, serving as a liaison for boarders, running some of our summer camps and much more.

Please join us in congratulating her on her promotion and welcoming her back to Rivendell!

A little about Grayson:

Grayson has been around horses since the age of 11, she started riding with a family friend until she decided she wanted to grow as a rider. She began taking lessons at Rivendell until she was offered her first job as a farm hand during her freshman year of high school. After attending the summer camps there for several years, she grew and transitioned from camper to staff, eventually taking on the responsibility of running the camps. In high school, she also rode for Rivendell’s IEA team, competing and gaining valuable experience. She enjoys coming to the barn simply for the love of the animals and the people that surround them. Her co-workers and staff she thinks of as family, and cares for our horses as if they’re her own.
