Meet Christine ("Chris") Lehman

Chris passed away in early January 2017. Below is a brief bio about her efforts with ATRC as its founder and president:

Chris Lehman was the founder of Albany Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc. and served as the board president and a Certified Riding Instructor. Chris was the heartbeat of ATRC, spending countless hours to care for the animals and facilities, preparing for and conducting lessons, performing outreach, and performing fundraising activities. Chris was an Albany, NY native and was educated at SUNY Delhi. Chris worked for many years as a licensed veterinary technician and also was a microlab instructor at Columbia-Greene Community College. Chris had over 34 years of experience in therapeutic riding and held advanced certification in cognitive and physical disabilities. In 2013, Chris was recognized as Volunteer of the Year by the Schenectady Gazette and Direct Energy. Compassionate and caring, Chris loved the students and enjoyed making a difference in their lives. Chris was truly an example of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things! 


We would love to have you visit soon!
