Emily Russell
Riding Instructor

Rashmi Vaish
Horse Handler
Riding Instructor in Training
Emily is a junior at St. Lawrence University, majoring in psychology.  She plans to go on to graduate school for clinical psychology.

Emily developed a love of horses when she began volunteering at ARISE at the Farm, a farm offering adaptive riding lessons in Chittenengo, NY.  After her first year at ARISE, she decided to take riding lessons herself.  She spent four years volunteering and then working at the farm.  While at ARISE, Emily taught riding lessons, was a camp counselor for summer camps and horsemanship camps, and also spent a lot of time volunteering with the adaptive riding program (for people with physical and developmental disabilities).  Currently Emily enjoys competing in horse shows.

Emily found Pray Road Stables her sophomore year of college and began volunteering.  Emily exercised horses regularly and eventually began working as a horse handler for therapy sessions.  In 2009, Emily became a Registered NARHA Therapeutic Riding Instructor and continues to teach lessons at Pray Road Stables.
