Volunteer Of The Month

February 2008

Beth Yurkovac

Beth & Mesecina DuSan

Beth has been riding since she was 7 years old. She grew up around a hunter/jumper barn in Virginia where she worked doing everything from mucking stalls, being a barn manager,  & show groom to be able to afford her riding lessons. After a bad injury from a fall while schooling a green horse her back was unable to handle the rigors of jumping. Lucky for us she moved to Florida and fell in love with dressage.  She continued to take lessons here and there until she was finally able to get her first horse, DuSan, or as she lovingly calls him "Denise the Menace". DuSan and Beth have been training with Tori now for a little over a year and are showing Training level and progressing nicely as DuSan grows and matures!

Beth works at a Medical and Rehab center, and in her spare time when she’s not training or doing barn work she’s works as certified instructor for NEC. Beth is certainly not new to volunteering or hard work, whether it’s actively working on our Web site or playing groom for a friend at a horse show Beth is always willing to lend a hand.
