Our Team
Liliana Johnson | Instructor (PATH Intl. CTRI)
Lily has been a part of the therapeutic riding community since she was 14, and it has been one of the greatest passions of her life. Helping riders connect with horses, grow in confidence, and find joy in the saddle is what inspires her every day. She is currently a student at Texas A&M University and also serves as president of the Aggie Blacksmithing Club, but her heart has always been in the arena. She owns a horse, named Macaroni, and when she is not with the horses, she loves baking and bringing that same care and creativity into the kitchen.
