Craig Robelen - President

Craig Robelen - President

Craig and his wife, Lisa, were involved in boarding horses for the past twenty years on their ranch in Delray Beach, Florida, prior to moving to Breckenridge five years ago. Their two daughters were raised tending to the horses and riding from the time they were six years old through high school. Equine therapy was a natural part of their family life!

Craig ran a custom home building company for thirty years, so working around a ranch comes naturally. Hands on carpentry is one of his favorite pastimes, as well as fixing all sorts of machinery and buildings. In addition, Lisa both loves horses and ran a preschool in Florida, and she was a counselor for young adults and couples. All of these past pursuits fit so well with the BRHC mission.

Carole Weller – Vice President

Carole Weller – Vice President

Carole is a retired Executive Recruiter who is originally from the UK. After moving to the US in 2005 she lived and worked in San Francisco for 8 years. Carole and her husband learned to ski in Breckenridge in 1991, and they loved Summit County so much they moved here in 2013. By 2015 they were lucky enough to retire from paid employment and concentrate on skiing, hiking, and biking as well as walking their two Bernese Mountain dogs. Carole volunteers for the Frisco Animal Shelter, the Breckenridge Theater, the Summit Foundation, and is on the board of the Breckenridge Music Festival. She has volunteered at BRHC since its inception and enjoys sharing her love of horses with others. She finds it rewarding to help the BRHC program participants realize their potential while assisting in the rehabilitation and adoption of rescue horses.
Kristi Revello - Board of Directors

Kristi Revello - Board of Directors

Kristina “Rev” Revello, who currently works as an alpine coach for US Ski and Snowboard, joins the board after two seasons of volunteering with BRHC. While coaching aspiring athletes has been her professional life for nearly 15 years, she was born riding horses and spent much of her formative years training and riding horses in the mountains of western Idaho and Wyoming. Her foundation in equine knowledge began with 4-H at a young age as well as doing rodeo, trail rides, and backcountry pack trips with friends and family. In her spare time off the hill and away from the ranch she enjoys exploring beautiful Colorado on her mountain bike, hiking, and attempting to bake yummy treats at high elevation.
Marguerite Miller - Board of Directors

Marguerite Miller - Board of Directors

In 2016, after raising two sons, teaching middle school special education, managing a special education department, and owning a horse farm in Maryland, my husband and I retired and made the move to Colorado. After visiting Summit county in 1967, I fell in love with the area, and after completing college, I moved to Glenwood Springs to teach. Life and marriage moved me back to the east coast but I always vowed to return. My boys are living in Denver with our three grandchildren, so the decision to move was easy. Not so easy was leaving the horses, so here I am at Blue River Horse Center.
Ross Sheely

Ross, wife Dana, and their 3 kiddos who are great skiers moved to Frisco in 1999. The whole family embraces the mountain lifestyle. Ross retired from the engineering and construction business and was very active volunteering with Team Summit culminating as President.

Robert Grantham

Robert Grantham

Robert Grantham has been in Summit co since the 2012-13 ski season and works at the Raven Golf Club as the assistant superintendent.
