Susan Glaeser - Board Member
In 1991 I moved to Austin from Corpus Christi. I am a registered nurse and love my job in Labor & Delivery and the Nursery. Shortly after moving to Austin I fulfilled a childhood dream to take riding lessons. In 2003 I finally decided to get my first horse, an unbroken, 5 year old, mustang, stud. Needless to say, I had no idea what I was getting in to! I also have a thoroughbred mare, an elderly whippet, and a cat. I enjoy the challenges of ranch versatility and the relaxation of a long trail ride.
