Leadership

Kevin Kemp – President

In February of 2008 I began to hear about the 100 horses that had been seized by the SPCA on the news. I heard Susan being interviewed on the radio and I decided to go out to Keno Hills that Saturday and see if there was anything that I could do to help. After a couple weekends I began bringing my daughter out with me and she began spending time with the herd helping socialize the horses. Experts and amateurs alike are needed to spend time with the horses. Mechanics, electricians and welders have made huge contributions as have people who answer questions on line or make posters at home. Some people make phone calls or sell hotdogs. Everyone has something to contribute and everyone's contribution is both needed and appreciated.

Judy Lefurgey – Vice President

I've had a life-long passion for horses but never much opportunity to interact with them.  I began volunteering when I saw the rescued horses on Global TV in Feb of 2010.  It broke my heart to see the condition they were in and I just knew I had to help in some way.  I attended an orientation and have been volunteering for two years now.  It's been the most rewarding experience of my life to watch the sadness in their eyes disappear, replaced with hope, trust and curiosity. I'm a Business Analyst and have recently been elected as Vice President of the Rescue 100 Foundation's Board of Directors.  I plan to use my term in this position to make life as perfect as possible for all the beautiful horses that come to us for love, care and a future free from abuse.

Heather Kemp – Secretary

I have been involved with Rescue 100 since the beginning. I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of the big picture and it has taught me so much. I am very thankful for the opportunity to be where I am at the moment. I had never been around a horse much at all before coming out to volunteer but, I knew from the very moment I stepped out in those fields that they would be a huge part of my life from that moment on. When I saw the look in their eyes I knew that there was no turning back, my life has changed through these amazing animals. It has been and will continue to be an amazing experience.

Peter Moore – Treasurer

I'm not sure whether it's more because I love the horses (no matter their condition), or because I admire the other people that take the time out of their busy lives to help these animals in need. It's kind of a push and pull; you realize you can either cry or get busy, so maybe do both?

Susan Fyfe – Director

For me it is about giving horses a second chance and in the process we are able to positively change the live's of those they touch.  It has been my experience from running Keno Hills Stables for over 25 years, that horses have so much to offer us if we learn how to listen and realize what they have to give.  A little bit of love goes a long way!

Ashley Fyfe Brown – Director

Growning up around horses my whole life, I have always been involved with these four legged friends one way or another. Seeing how you can make a difference in a neglected horses life is very rewarding and lead me to find other ways to help out.  From horse placement to herd rehabilitation I am trying to help Rescue 100 one horse at a time. 

David Doyle – Director

I joined Rescue 100 initially as offering my photography skills to help record all the progress of the horses from when they arrive to when they have recovered through efforts and love of the volunteers. The experience of being close to these wonderful animals drew me in and I am now a member of the Board.
