Our Humans

Kathleen Caughlan Hart

Kathleen Hart, the Secretary for the Board of Directors for Horses Help SWI, was born and raised in Council Bluffs.  She is now retired after spending more than 40 years in financial-services management, and is splitting time between living in Iowa and Arizona; from 2014-2020, she was the Board Secretary at Kachina’s Place Equestrian Center in Cave Creek, AZ. 

This facility, which provides equine-therapy services to individuals with developmental disabilities, was started in 2010 by our own founder, Linda Heithoff Borman (bio above).  Kathleen returned to Iowa because, in her words, “The focus of combining therapy and horses creates a stillness of the soul that becomes the base from which all healing begins.  I love the work, and I’m thrilled to bring my experience to this new organization in Council Bluffs.  It’s a real return to my roots.”
