Dawn Kerley moved to Sedan, Kansas in 1995 in an effort to provide her children with a hometown where they could flourish while also remaining safe.  She is employed as a Para-professional in the Sedan and West Elk school districts.

Dawn was led to volunteer activities at Rainbow Meadows due to her daughter Paxton's, urging.  Now, nearly a year later, she has learned the basics of safe handling of horses - how to lead, groom, tack and more recently, how to ride. 

Dawn had limited exposure to horses until she began her volunteer work at Rainbow Meadows but she says emphatically "I LOVE spending time with the horses."  It is her commitment to the horses which makes her the perfect Director of volunteers.
