Carole Weller – Board of Directors

Carole Weller – Board of Directors

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.
Craig Robelen - Board of Directors

Craig Robelen - Board of Directors

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.

Kristi Revello

Kristi Revello

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.
Britt Lea

Britt Lea

Britt is a Southern transplant but has called the mountains of Colorado home since 2008. Her love of horses stems from growing up on a farm in North Louisiana where her parents raised and rode cutting horses. After a long hiatus for college, travels, and to start a family, Britt has finally made her way back to horses thanks to the volunteer programs at the Blue River Horse Center. Britt is currently working on her masters degree in clinical counseling and will continue to incorporate equine-assisted therapy into her practice. She is a PATH International certified therapeutic riding instructor and Horse Boy method instructor. When Britt isn’t studying or hanging out with her BRHC-adopted horse, Dutch, she can be found skiing trees at Mary Jane or chasing her five-year old son down the blues at Keystone.
Marguerite Miller

Marguerite Miller

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.
