We are thrilled to introduce our two newest Camp Riding Instructors, Abby Ehms and Lola Bordoni Liotta! Both are Centenary University trained and PATH International Certified Instructors (CTRI), bringing expertise and passion to our program. Abby and Lola are joining our Summer Camp Team to ensure we have three or more certified instructors on-site every day, all summer long. Their dedication and experience will help make this year’s summer camp an unforgettable experience for all our riders! We couldn’t be more excited to have them on board.
LOLA BORDONI LIOTTA
Lola is a PATH International Certified Instructor (CTRI) who is joining our team this summer! Lola is a recent graduate of Centenary University, where she earned a degree in Equine Studies with a concentration in Equine-Assisted Services. During her time at Centenary, she was deeply involved with the TRAC program, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Originally from New York City, Lola has ridden recreationally throughout her life, but her passion for more competitive riding took off in college, where she competed on the IHSA and Hunter Jumper teams. On top of that, Lola is bilingual in Italian and often visits her family in Italy. She loves to travel and explore new places—especially if there are horses involved! We’re so excited to have her as part of our team!
ABBY EHMS
Abby fell in love with horseback riding at age 11 and knew right away it was her calling! She pursued her passion through three different colleges—Cobleskill, Cazenovia, and ultimately Centenary University—where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Equine Business Management with a concentration in Therapeutic Horsemanship. It was at Centenary, as part of their Therapeutic Riding Program (TRAC), that Abby not only began her journey of teaching individuals with special needs but also earned her PATH International Certified Instructor (CTRI) credential.
Abby's ultimate goal is to open and run her own farm, much like Mane Stream! She's known for her incredibly happy, bubbly personality and is often referred to as a "ball of energy." Always eager to lend a helping hand, Abby enjoys all aspects of working with horses, from barn chores like cleaning stalls and turning out to riding and grooming. While she's been busy with barn work at Mane Stream recently, she's absolutely thrilled to start teaching for summer camp!
