Executive Director
Colleen Boylan arrives to Wings and Hooves with nonprofit experience and a personal passion for horses. Colleen has worked with several nonprofit organizations in various capacities, but most recently as a case manager with an international mentoring agency. She has shown Arabian and Half-Arabian horses competitively, winning several Regional and Reserve National Championships, including a 2009 United States National Championship in the Half-Arabian Park Amateur to Ride division. Colleen admires the reliable work-ethic of a retired show horse and respects the horses’ desire to accept new responsibilities associated with therapeutic riding. Colleen enjoys working at Wings and Hooves primarily because of the awesome people she gets to meet and work with every day, but also because her retired show horses are right next to her office! Colleen believes in the natural, therapeutic value of an equine partnership and looks forward to facilitating many more through Wings and Hooves. A resident of Derry, New Hampshire, Colleen enjoys running with her two dogs and reading a good book.
