Carrying out Anne’s legacy through her passion for horses, adventure, and serving others.
Anne Elizabeth McComb Swaney was an avid horsewoman from the time she was a girl in Platte City, Missouri. When she wasn’t working as Executive Producer of Online Operations at ABC-7 in Chicago, Anne continued to pursue her passion for horses as an adult. She regularly rode her horse Sequoia near Chicago, and traveled worldwide for horseback riding adventures.
Anne was a victim of a homicide while one a horseback riding trip in Belize in 2016. Her friends and family established the non-profit to share the happiness and healing Anne found in horses with those in need.
