✨ Meet Our Board Members: Month 2! ✨

If you've crossed paths with Taking the Lead, chances are you know Liz! 🎉

Stay tuned to learn more about the incredible people behind our mission. 🐴🌟

Liz received her MSOT from Towson University's Department of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science.

As a lifelong animal lover, she related any OT school assignment she could to animal assisted therapy. When it came time for level 2 placements for full time internships, she marked Taking the Lead, Inc., (TTL) as number 1 on her list. Luckily, the stars aligned and she interviewed with Chelsea, who agreed that she would be a good fit for TTL. From day one, Liz knew that TTL would always be her safe place, a home away from home, and she hasn't left since.

Additionally, Liz brings many years of experience in grants management and project management to the team. It is a pleasure to optimize processes for the organization and network with the community to share the word about the services TTL provides.✨

November is all about Thanksgiving and I cannot give enough thanks for all of you. Our community came together for such a wonderful Second Annual “HAY” Neighbor Fall Festival this past weekend! I had so much fun sharing what hippotherapy is about and creating a safe space for individuals to be themselves and enjoy one another’s company!

Hey y’all!

🤩 Did you know that clients gain confidence while riding a horse?

🐴 Both children and adults can participate in therapeutic horseback riding.

✅ The benefits:
- Developing an interest in the outside world.
- Taking bigger risks in life.
- Developing emotional control and self-discipline.
