Volunteer

KART’s 2021 Volunteer of the Year was Janet Sigler. Managing a program involving therapeutic horses requires a dedication to ensure their readiness to carry riders with special needs. Micah, our star equine, requires grooming, bathing, and human interaction. Janet frequently visited the farm and made sure Micah consistently had the human interaction required. She faithfully performed these duties two times each week, starting June, 2020 and continued through the year until KART was back in session. Janet also assists with individual riders throughout the year when they need the extra support.

Alix Rickloff has been named KART’s Volunteer of the Year for 2022. Alix joined the board in 2010 after seeing for herself how valuable its programs were to Kent County’s students; including her son who began riding with KART in kindergarten. Through the years, she worked with teachers and was an instrumental liaison between KART and the schools. She served as a volunteer at numerous events and took our social media and PR to the next level. After years of dedication, Alix is retiring from KART. She will be greatly missed but will always be in our hearts.
