VOLUNTEERS
Lynn Edwards
Lynn volunteers her time and talents as the Barn Manager of the ranch. She makes sure all barn and horse-related matters are taken care of in a timely and efficient manner. Although health issues prevent as much involvement as she would like, her organization skills and attention to detail are a large reason the care of the horses and the facility operation run smoothly and efficiently.
Jean Malkus
Jean’s love for horses shines through in everything she does. She’s never met a horse she didn’t think was beautiful! Jean uses the energy created for her by the horses to help out wherever she’s needed at the ranch. Equally as comfortable dealing with barn and office matters, Jean is a versatile and extremely helpful member of the ranch team.
NOTE: You are likely to meet both Jean and Lynn when you come to the ranch because they double in greeting people, handling sign-in and assist the horses at our workshops.
Bill Katzenberger
 Bill donates his skills in bodywork and paint to the ranch on an as-needed basis. He painted the sign that hangs proudly at the entrance to the ranch and recently completed the paint job on the golf cart we will use, not only at the ranch but also for Renewal Ranch Racing. Oh, by the way, he also fixes the paint, etc. on the ranch vehicles if we forget and park them close enough to the arena for the horses to “chomp” – they like the sound of teeth on metal!!!
