Rachel Sowinski: Intern – has recently joined Maplecrest Farm’s Internship Program. Rachel comes to Maplecrest from Pennsylvania where she gained invaluable experience as an intern for Ligonier Equestrian Center over the past two years, and has more than a decade of horsemanship experience to boast. Rachel recently graduated from Bethany College in West Virginia with a Bachelor’s degree in Equine Management. Although Rachel’s past riding experience has been primarily Hunter/Jumper, and Fox Hunting, we are thrilled that she has decided to add Dressage to her riding resume. We welcome Rachel to the Maplecrest Farm family and look forward to watching her achieve her Dressage riding goals. No doubt she will be fantastic in no time.
