February Volunteer of the Month
Stephanie Eyer
Background
Stephanie was born and raised in the Goshen area. She currently lives with her mom, dad, brother, and dog.
Time volunteering
She started helping with our program
in March 2004.
Why she began to volunteer
Steph saw an ad in the local newspaper about
LoveWay. Since she couldn’t have horses of her own she came here to get her horse fix.
Favorite memory about LoveWay
Getting the privilege of dumping wheel barrows and putting lime in the stalls was a big deal for Stephanie. She liked getting the added responsibility and the ability to help wherever she could. She also used to enjoy brushing the horses’ mane and tails-which she used to do for hours when she first started.
Favorite Horse
She said it’s a toss-up between her favorite two horses. When she first came she was assigned to work with Skeeter and she became very fond of him and worked with him every week. She also liked working with Nibbles because since she was blind, the horse was very trusting. It was also the horse that Steph first learned to ride.
First memory of LoveWay
Stephanie remembers working with Skeeter who was blind in one eye. The first day she was here a schooling rider taught her how to groom using Skeeter who happened to be very sore that day. After standing very quiet for the grooming, the horse laid it’s head on the schooling rider’s shoulder. Steph thought it was really cute.
In her spare time
Steph will be graduating from Northridge High School this June. She currently volunteers at LoveWay five days a week in the afternoon and on Monday evenings. She also just started volunteering at Keystone RV Company in their maintenance department where she is practicing her welding skills. She just applied for an apprenticeship at the Pipe fitters Union and is waiting to hear back for an interview. She likes to play with her dog Corky and ride on her dad’s 2005 Heritage Soft-tail Harley Davidson Motorcycle too.
