Executive Officers

At the present time, all of the people listed below are working to develop this program on a strictly voluntary basis. In fact, these folks are investing their own money in facility development as well as swallowing the costs associated with rescuing, training, and maintaining the horses on the farm.  Sandra Woodward of New Hampshire has graciously volunteered to assist with the duties of the Chief Financial officer as Mary transitions to the duties of Chief Executive Officer.

Cathy Mesaric, Vice President/COO

Cathy Mesaric is the heart of our rag-tag band of misfits! She has always had the softest spot for horses and loves them all like children. Her role as Vice President/Chief Operations Officer at LCR is to oversee the day-to-day care of the horses, getting up well before the sun to make sure all is well.  There isn't a horse or a kid that Cathy would turn away or give up on! Cathy has over 20 years experience in the field of law enforcement/corrections and as a police officer,  corrections officer and corrections administrator, which gives her a great understanding of what becomes of at-risk children whom the system fails.

Mary Myshrall, President/CEO
 
Mary Myshrall is Cathy's left hand. Mary's primary roll as our President/Chief Executive Officer is making sure the we don't get ahead of our finances (no small task!) and to ensure that our records are kept in order. She will also bear responsibility for maintaining updated records on clients, volunteers, and horses.  Mary recently graduated cum laude from the Universityy of Maine at Augusta with an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice, a degree program which has included courses in psychology, criminology, and corrections. Mary's background as the administrator of a foster home for special needs children along with her education gives her a firm foundation from which to work with at-risk kids as well.  In addition, she plans to attend the EAGALA Level I certification program in the fall. 

 
Advisory Board
 
We are currently assembling a top notch Advisory Board who will be responsible to oversee the operations and governance of Last Chance Ranch.  Once our board has been selected, members' biographies and pictures will be posted in this section.
 
 

Our Terrific Barn Staff
 
Joshua Austin and Brian Mercier help out with the manual labor like cleaning the run-ins, shoveling snow, lifting and stacking hay and grain, and doing some day-to-day stuff like feeding and watering the gang. With the amount of labor involved in this effort, these guys are truly a blessing for us!

Aside from his horsey duties, Joshua is a full-time student and plays football. He is a skilled rider and has a gentle way with the horses. He and Dusty have bonded and we hope to see those two make great progress together this year!
 
Brian is new to horses but has a strong back and a willing heart. He has already made himself a valuable member of our team!
