Colleen McKitrick joins the NEFC team with more than 10 years of professional horse experience in Northern Virginia. A lifetime competitor, progressing up the levels of the U.S. Pony Club and then on to upper level three-day-eventing, Colleen has worked for several top eventing and dressage professionals as well as several Olympic event riders.

NEFC supervising veterinarian Dr. Jay Joyce said “the positive energy and dedicated focus of these two experienced equestrians will be true assets to NEFC as we prepare to open the doors next month.” While industry-wide construction and material shortages have caused slight delays in opening, the regional-first equestrian fitness center is ready to start training staff and will soon begin working with several volunteer equine athletes to fine tune the customizable fitness programs available to benefit EVERY RIDDEN HORSE.
