Greg Johnson Memorial Award
“Greg Johnson advocated for Inspiration Stables from the very beginning. He strongly believed in the power of a horse to help a child. Greg wanted the absolute best for his daughter, Lauren, and his passion for her well-being and growth was graciously bestowed on Inspiration Stables. He went above and beyond to do whatever he could to help Inspiration Stables get started. Greg helped promote the program in the community by participating in our promotional video. He helped set up the tack room, fencing, and unloaded hay to get everything ready for the program to start. Greg trusted us with Lauren to help her learn and grow in her horsemanship skills and as a person. Her development at Inspiration Stables has inspired us all as she learned to speak “walk on,” begin posting work, steering, and stopping. Greg’s incredible passion, commitment and belief in Inspiration Stables is the heart of what has allowed us to continue to grow and serve.
Volunteers like Greg are our lifeblood and truly define our organization. The Greg Johnson Memorial Volunteer Award is given to an Inspiration Stables volunteer who has gone above and beyond to make certain that our mission is fulfilled in every capacity. This person will do whatever is necessary to see our participants succeed in their goals. The deserving volunteer carries an attitude of gratitude and humble service to all those they encounter just as Greg did.”
