Julie also holds a B.A. in Psychology from Seton Hall University. She learned Natural Horsemanship training over the years with her spunky pony, Ginger, and passes on her knowledge to her students.
MADDIE CLAMAN, LMSW
FUNDRAISING & DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Maddie began taking riding lessons as a child and has always enjoyed working with horses. She is a graduate of local Skidmore College with a B.A. in Psychology, and was captain of Skidmore’s Varsity Riding Team. While Maddie no longer rides competitively, she is deeply passionate about supporting and empowering people through the special nature of horses. This passion led her to pursue her Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University. She is thrilled to contribute to A Dapple A Day through planning fundraisers, securing grants, and leading special projects.
THOMAS MASTROPASQUA
DIRECTOR OF FINANCES
Thomas is a native Long Islander with a recently found passion for horse care and barn work. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Geological Sciences from the University of Buffalo, and enjoys hiking and the great outdoors. Thomas currently works as a construction consultant in addition to heading ADAD's finances, but still finds plenty of time to spend at the barn working on projects, lending a hand in lessons, or taking on barn chores!
JACLYNN CAMPNEY
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Jaclynn began as a volunteer with ADAD and discovered a new interest in horses and the world of equine-assisted therapies! As someone who loves to learn and get her hands dirty, Jaclynn adores coming by the farm to volunteer with barn chores and work with her favorite mare Sophia.
