Hi everybody! My name is Lizzie and I’m so excited to be returning to Hoofbeat this summer! This will be my 3rd summer as RIT master and my 13th summer overall at Hoofbeat. I just finished my Animal Science and Genetics degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and will be working full time in the fall. When I am not at camp I enjoy watching NFL football, cuddling dogs and eating ice cream. My favorite camp activities are friendship bracelet making, playing numbers and riding the trails! I also love to hang out with my 3 favorite hoofbeat horses: Prince, Mocha and Chloe! I can’t wait to see you all this summer!
