HorseSensing Board Member at Large
Traci Titus
HorseSensing Board Secretary
I am a retired Science teacher and when I met Sally in January 2022, I was immediately interested in the work she is doing with our Veterans. I was invited out for a visit and I got to meet all of the horses and residents on the farm. I felt a connection to Sally on that first day. When you meet someone with the same values as you, it can be life changing. I knew I had the time to volunteer but never considered seeking it out. The opportunity literally came to me!
I get way more than I give as a volunteer with HorseSensing. It gives me a sense of purpose and peace to work along side others with the same giving heart. Being with horses can clear the noise in your head that life sometimes brings and I value my time there so much. From grooming horses to planning and working events, I get so many opportunities here. At the end of the day, I am happily tired, sometimes dirty and always grateful for my time spent on the farm.

Rena Elswick
HorseSensing Board Vice President
Rena was born and raised in Greenup, Kentucky. Her first exposure to horses was when she was a small girl. Her grandfather and uncles were horse traders. She used to sneak off to the county fair and tell the old guys in the stables who her grampa was and they would let her rider their horses, unbeknownst to her parent. As an adult Ms. Elswick became involved with Quarter Horses, riding Western Pleasure, Barrel Racing, English, Hunter and Jumper, and Halter. Ms. Elswick was appointed to the Kentucky harness racing commission and eventually became the first female harness racing (USTA) judge in Kentucky and one of the few in the nation. In the last 10 years, Ms. Elswick has expanded her equine horizons with American Saddlebred horses, regularly attending clinics to hone her skills in this area.
Ms. Elswick believes in the mission of HorseSensing. She also has a personal reason for wanting to be involved-Her son is a successful recovering addict.
