    1 in 1,000: Erica Lignell, equestrian

    Erica Lignell is a sophomore who has been riding horses since she was ten years old.  She took her experience with horses and used it as a way to give back. Spending time with people who have disabilities that she has met at Pathways Assisted Therapy has been an eye opening and moving experience for her.

    At pathways they use horses to teach people with physical and mental disabilities how to ride horses as a part of their therapy.  Erica and other volunteers are crucial to Pathways’ success as a non-profit orgizination.  Erica also volunteers though Key Club and the Youth Volunteer Corps.

    Erica rides horses at White Oak Ranch twice a week. She volunteers at Pathways for about two hours every week during one of the classes held there. She highly recommends donating your time to Pathways and feels it has been an extremely rewarding experience for her.
