Carissa Ramsdell
Founder/Executive Director
Favorite FRR Horse: “Boston, of course, but if it couldn’t be him, Joseph. I’ve never met a horse with more personality and who loves people more than Joe.”
Why she loves FRR: “I could list so many things and so many incredible moments, but my favorite thing is watching all the moving pieces come together to create an environment where people feel truly welcomed and loved, and where the joy and peace of God is free to move and be experienced by everyone.”
Fun fact: “I am always captivated by the wonder of a snow-capped mountainside and vast wilderness without a sign of civilization. Give me mountains and snow over the Tennessee heat any day!”
