When the last of her three children left home to go off to school, adult-amateur hunter rider Kim Kolloff found herself with extra time on her hands.
Many riders take any extra time they have and put it into more lessons or horse shows.
Kolloff, who has competed successfully in the adult hunters for years, easily could have done that. But instead, she decided to dedicate her extra time to volunteer work. Big brothers and sisters spend five to eight hours each week with their little brothers and sisters doing anything from talking to doing homework or going out to a movie. But when they grew up and went off to school, I wanted to get back into working with kids. Someone to lean on, someone to tell everything to.
