Mentor

Lizzy has mentored a selected group of young working students through her family’s farm in Pennsylvania. Lizzy strives to be a mentor for the students in all aspects of their development, including life outside the saddle. Pictured is Hannah Martin, who started with Lizzy at age 13 with very little riding experience and is now studying Biology as a premed major at Penn State and is the main assistant rider at Carousel Fam today.

Education outside the classroom…

Intern Mentor

Lizzy has mentored numerous university students doing credited internships with Taiji Horsemanship or Carousel Farm. Mentoring collegiate interns requires teaching the ins and outs of the business at hand and organizing their time spent on different projects over the three months they spend with us.

Horses provide us the most amazing gift…

USHJA Youth Committee Member

As an ambassador on the USHJA Youth Committee, we aimed to connect all sectors of the equestrian community to the opportunities available within the USHJA Foundation. We spoke at 4-H and Pony Club meetings and organized fundraisers at AA horse shows on behalf of the USHJA Foundation. Unfortunately, the USHJA Youth Committee was dissolved with the reorganization of the USHJA Foundation.
