Kristi Brandenburger, Program Director
Kristi is new to STARS this year. She is a North Dakota native, growing up on a farm/ranch. She was a member of 4-H for ten years. Kristi had been around horses since she was young and was fortunate enough to start riding at the age of eleven. Her parents were the charter members of the local saddle club there and so began her love of horses. Kristi has years of showing experience with some barrel racing and roping experience. She has been involved with therapeutic riding on and off for about 30 years. Kristi was the executive director of a therapeutic riding program for 12 years and has had the opportunity to observe riding programs in three different states. Kristi has a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance and a Bachelor’s equivalent in Equine Science and is a licensed equine massage therapist. She is currently working part-time at the SDSBP in Volga. Kristi has two grown children and recently relocated to this area to be closer to her grandchildren. “Therapeutic riding is an extraordinary means of therapy, and I am elated to be part of it again! I am looking forward to the upcoming riding season with STARS and meeting the riders, volunteers, interns, and horses.” |
