Virginia (Ginny) Clark - Certified EAL Facilitator
I've had a lifelong love of horses.  I am a qualified British Horse Society Intermediate Instructor.  What I love about EAL is that participants need have no knowledge of horses and still benefit from the amazing learning experiences they have to offer.
Prior to joining Bev at Connecting Teams I owned and ran my own specialty food manufacturing company.  I am married with two sons.
