Phyllis Poore has loved horses all her life, and now her job keeps her around them all day long.

She grew up with a horse as a little girl in Maryland, and when her family moved to Rappahannock in 1981, she worked several horse-related jobs in Fauquier County, from mucking out stalls to bam managing. She also spent three years working as the receptionist at the Rappahannock Medical Center.

When asked where she learned the horse business, Ms. Poore laughed and said, “1 learned at the school of hard knocks.” She never took lessons but learned from all the bams she had worked in, and is an accomplished rider herself.
