A 4-H volunteer for eight years, Laura is the organizational leader of the Silver Spurs club, a member of the Horse VIPS Committee, and Superintendent of the Western Horse Show - 3 (Working Pleasure, Western Riding, and Reining) at the Lancaster County Super Fair. She helps with horsemanship level testing, show coordination, and ring practice. She has also been involved with the EquiRiders club.

"I love kids and I love horses," Laura says. "My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is watching 4-H kids improve skills and gain knowledge each year."
