Molly Cossart-Assistant Farm Manager Molly Cossart is a wonderful addition to Tide's End Farm. After many years in the corporate world, she has decided to embrace her longtime dream of working on a horse farm. She brings a diverse background that blends well with the current programs and the future direction of the farm. Molly is a Maine native. She grew up riding horses, taking local riding lessons and attended riding camps during summer months in New Hampshire and Vermont. She has great memories of her experiences as both a camper and a counselor in training. She went on to get her degree in Equine Management at Mount Ida College. While attending school she competed as a member of the Mount Ida Equestrian Team in the intercollegiate horse shows. She also volunteered as a spotter in the Spurwink therapeutic riding program. Her internship was spent at Wildwood Farm where she worked as an assistant riding instructor. She has been riding at Tide's End Farm for a couple years and owns a mare named Phoebe who is boarding at our farm. Phoebe is a purebred Cleveland Bay, who we hope will breed with our stallion Sultan in the near 2007. Jeanie Amerault-Cook and main lady of the kitchen Tide's End Farm would not be complete without the addition of Jeanie Amerault.
