Crystal began volunteering at Grace in August 2022, once her kids were all in school. She quickly fell in love with every part of the experience—from side walking and horse leading to helping with events. After earning her certification in May 2025, she jumped into leading sessions and is excited to continue growing her skills to support both people and horses. Crystal shared that horses have always been part of her story. She grew up around them and, just a few years ago, was blessed to build a herd of her own for trail riding and quiet moments in nature. They’re her grounding force.

With a lifelong love of horses and a herd of her own for trail riding, Crystal brings heart and hands-on experience to everything she does. Outside the barn, she’s a busy mom to a crew of sports-loving boys and an adrenaline-seeking family that thrives on dirt biking and snowboarding. When she’s not chasing adventure, Crystal finds peace in growing flowers, crafting home décor, and exploring the beauty of God’s creation. Living life with grit, grace, and a whole lot of joy.
