#WorkingWednesday with Heather Montgomery

Name:  Heather Montgomery

Employer: In The Woods Barn and Garden Center

How long have you worked here? Two years, but I’ve been volunteering and riding here since I was 12.

What do you do there? I feed and water the animcals, clean stalls, and froom the animals as needed.

What do you like most about your job? Working with the horses.

Comment from employer (Alisa Lassiter, Owner of In The Woods) “I cannot say enough about Heather! Heather is punctual, helpful and kind.  She is attentive to details and is quick to report anything she notices.   She cares about her co workers and the animals and she goes out her way to pick up shifts, to help others and to be considerate of others. Heather even stood vigil with a sick animal for 6 hours until a vet arrived, just so they wouldn’t be alone. I am so happy she is being spotlighted! ”

In the Woods is not currently hiring but they are accepting volunteers. To inquire about opportunities please email: HorsesInTheWoods@yahoo.com
