Sandy Podley

Board member

Sandy began volunteering at the ranch in 2022 and joined the board in 2025. She has been an avid supporter of horses and all animal causes throughout her life but she credits WNCR with most of her real knowledge of horses and their care. Originally from Miami, Florida, Sandy pursued her secondary and graduate education in Texas. She moved to New Mexico in 2006 and worked in NM as well as across the western US, but always maintained her residence in the Albuquerque area.

After 35 years as a health system senior executive and CEO, in both large non-profit and for-profit organizations, Sandy retired in late 2023 to realize her dream of living in Corrales and having equines back in her life. Sandy brings to our organization extensive operational, financial, and strategic planning experience - combined with her passion, love of horses and dedication to Walkin N Circles Ranch.
