Janice Uricchio, our new Program Director at Special Equestrians
Special Equestrians is very pleased to announce that Janice Uricchio has accepted the position of Program Director. Janice has been a member of the SE family for 2 years, and it’s exciting to have her step into this position. She will continue to teach in the Silver Saddles program and is very much looking forward to spending more time creating new programs and teaching lessons.
Janice started riding as a toddler, learning the ropes to show in hunter & jumper rings. She started teaching therapeutic riding lessons at Sebastian Riding in Collegeville while pursuing her undergraduate degree in psychology at Ursinus College. Janice worked part time as a veterinary nurse at Animal Medical Center in Trappe and judged twice a year at Thorncroft’s TRD and fall farm show. She received her PATH certification at Thorncroft in 2014. After graduating with a B.S. in Psychology, Janice moved to Temple to pursue a master's in occupational therapy and began teaching therapeutic riding at Buck Run Stables in Perkasie with her own horse. She graduated from Temple in August of 2019 and went on to work as an Early Intervention Occupational Therapist before joining Special Equestrians full time. In her free time, you’ll find Janice spending time with her fiancée Jeff along with their clan of pets including dogs, cats and a few small fluffy, scaly, feathered friends.
Please join us in welcoming Janice in her new role at Special Equestrians.
