Cyndi McGarry spent years heavily involved with her kids’ schools and extracurricular activities, everything from classroom helper, PTSA, and Cub Scouts to booster club board of directors. It all came to a screeching halt in 2020 when the world went on lockdown and her youngest graduated from high school. By 2022, things were opening up and Cyndi was looking for a new way to be involved. Finding SAFE gave her that opportunity. With a lifelong love of horses but minimal experience, Cyndi started at SAFE on an afternoon chore shift. Soon, she was adding on a morning shift, a night check shift, grooming, helping out at events, and attending classes and education seminars. After stepping up through the roles of Shift Lead and PM Barn Assist, Cyndi joined Barn Staff in 2024.
