Jeff Evans: Vice President I am the former owner of Light Rein Ranch in Bonne Terre. I trained mounted patrol horses, boarded, and taught riding lessons to children and adults. My "real" jobs supported my horse habit and included radio, print, and film. I went to the Broadcast Center in Clayton and have worked in many different capacities for several different radio stations. KLPW AM and FM, KFMO, KDBB, and KSLQ are a few. I was a program director, talk show host, and assistant. News Director and Morning Drive Host through the years. "Horse Sense" was a weekly show I put on the air, and it was broadcast on numerous radio stations. I've been involved in the movie industry as a prop builder, stuntman, and actor. I am an artist and recently had my work featured in 573 Magazine. I served as the Desloge Chamber of Commerce President and Vice President. I'm a father and husband passionate about horses and helping where I can be useful. Currently, I am honored to be the board's VP.

Roxanne Miller: President Dr. Ken Miller: Board Member We are Ken and Roxanne Miller. We own the facility where we donated its' use to The STABLEs. Roxanne and I grew up loving horses and knew that when we moved to a more rural area, we would need to own several horses, which quickly grew into a way of life for our now 4 adult children. Ken is a retired Navy Officer and a practicing physician here in Farmington. Roxanne keeps busy with Grandma's duties and our new passion, The STABLEs. We prayed about giving back to our community, and when the opportunity opened for our facility to be used for equine-assisted services, Roxanne and I knew it was what God wanted us to do.

Ashton Brackett: Board of Directors My journey into the world of marketing started unusually early, leading me to graduate with a bachelor's degree at 19 and a master's by 21. But that's just the beginning of my story. Born and raised in the beautiful landscapes of southeast Missouri, I've always been an outdoor enthusiast at heart. Whether it's hunting in the crisp autumn air, hiking through lush trails, or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature, the outdoors is where I recharge and find inspiration for my creative endeavors. And, of course, none of this would be possible without my trusty sidekick, coffee, which fuels my adventures and my work. My life took on even more meaning when I married my high school sweetheart. Together, we've embarked on life's greatest adventure: parenthood. As a mom of three incredible kids, I've learned the art of juggling.
