Ex. Director of Horses of Hope Laurie Flanagan came to Clinton County to attend Lock Haven University in 1988. She attained her BS in Health and Physical Education, but instead of teaching, pursued a 10-year career overseeing group homes for individuals with special needs. After getting married and starting a family, she saw a need for additional services for the special people of Clinton County. With a lifetime love of horses and learning about the healing effects of therapeutic riding available in other areas of the state, she realized how good these services would be for the local community. With a lot of prayer, hard work and help from our amazing community, Horses of Hope started offering hope and healing in 2009.
