Our Board of Directors is an amazing group of dedicated volunteers who provide leadership and promote our programs throughout the greater Spokane area.
Dave T
President
My wife, Jan, introduced to me to Free Rein in 2014, I have enjoyed being a side walker and leader, as well as helping in maintenance and construction projects. I’ve been a volunteer Nordic ski instructor for Spokane Parks and Recreation Therapeutic Recreation Services at Mt. Spokane Nordic Ski Area since 1995. I began as a volunteer firefighter with Spokane County Fire District 4 in 1991 and now serve as a driver/operator for District 4’s Support Services team. I’m honored to have been invited to join Free Rein’s Board of Directors in mid 2020. It’s an exciting time in a very challenging scenario but I’m surrounded by a great team of dedicated volunteers and staff.

Vice President
Karin is a 30 year resident of the Spokane area. She received her BA from University of Washington in 1982 and in 2019 received a Masters in Counseling from Gonzaga University. Her involvement with Free Rein began with an invitation to our annual auction. She started volunteering in 2016 and joined the board the winter of 2020. Karin has had a life long passion for horses and spent many happy childhood hours on horseback. Adult life initially had no room for horses until her daughter developed her own deep passion for horses. She has gone from boarding, to being lucky enough to own a home where she can have her horses with her. She passionately believes in the healing power of horses and loves being able to share what she can to help Free Rein achieve its mission.
