Board of Directors
Gayle Gordon, President
Gayle is a life-long equestrian. She along with her husband Lew have bred, trained and competed with American Paint horses since the early 80’s. Gayle has taught horseback riding to both adults and children, including those with special needs. She wants to bring the unique healing properties of horses to onsite facilities, as horses were instrumental in her own survival of cancer.
Gayle is a graduate of Colorado State University with degrees in Business and Animal Science. She had a long career in accounting and finance, and has recently completed the UNLV Non-Profit Management Certificate. She was also a 2020 Cohort of the Jameson Fellowship.
Lew Gordon, Secretary
With more than thirty years of experience with horses, Lew supports the training and care of our miniatures. This experience includes feeding, exercising, showing, and raising young horses bred on our property.
Lew has a BS degree in Economics and is a certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. He works in global operations for a large manufacturing and engineering company. He has previous experience as a paramedic in a large urban EMS system. He has also led medical and safety programs for a large government-industrial complex. This work experience gives Lew a unique insight into helping people.
