Lisa Kaeser

A graduate of Dartmouth College, Lisa Kaeser retired from a decades-long career in government service, leading a policy office at the National Institutes of Health. She combined the institute's research interests in developmental disabilities and Human-Animal Interaction by volunteering at a therapeutic riding center in Maryland. Happily relocating to the Upper Valley, she continued that work by volunteering and serving on the Board of High Horses, where she is now the president.

Participant Testimonials:

This course was exceptional in all categories. 

This course was extremely well-organized.  For both the in-class and onsite sessions, multiple presenters were involved.  It was clear that the sessions were impressively thought-out, and personnel resources were poured into these two sessions to provide a thorough well-rounded explanation of the Center and its programming.

Until this class, i didn't fully appreciate how much the program does, for so many different kinds of people. Also did not fully appreciate the unspoken connections between horses and client.
