About Erin
USDF Silver and Bronze
Medalist, 'A' Rated United States Pony Club Graduate.
She grew up riding in Pony Club and Eventing since the age of 7, and has spent hours on end on the trails in the mountains with her family and horses. Numerous lessons with some of the greats throughout her younger years eventing and participating in Pony Club include Jim Graham and Nick Holmes-Smith among others, who helped her achieve a wealth of knowledge and experience.
In 2002, she spent time in Germany as a working student for Christian Garweg and Eva Rainsborough, at Eva's Dressage and Sales facility outside of Hamburg, and left with a invite to return as a full time employee. However, she decided to finish college and compete for a spot on the Region 6 Young Rider Dressage team with her past FEI horse, Zoltan, where they were happily an alternate for the team in 2003 under the coaching of Kari McClain and clinician Christian Garweg.
She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with her BA in 2005. Following graduation, Erin purchased St. Anton, a 5 year old Finnish Warmblood, with the intent to take him on as her next personal FEI Dressage prospect. Erin and Anton went on through the levels and spent a wonderful and intensive month of training down at Arroyo Del Mar with Shannon Peters in October of 2010, before starting the 2011 competition year at Prix St. George and Intermediate I. Erin continuously expands her own education and has recently enjoyed clinics with Shannon Peters, Steffen Peters, David Blake, and Debbie McDonald.
Along with riding and competing in both eventing and dressage over the years, Erin and her family have enjoyed the breeding of Holsteiner horses. One of which is Urora (aka Rori), a 2004 Holsteiner mare that Erin is currently riding and readying for competition.
(Rori as newborn - Rori at 4)
In 2011, Erin purchased Lorne from Fox Fire Farm. He is a 2011 colt by Limoncello II out of Tanner (Ariadus x Locato line) as a future prospect. He received Premium Holsteiner Foal status with 16 points at the 2011 approvals and received a 2011 Futurity win. Lots to look forward to with this one!
Erin feels wonderfully blessed to be surrounded daily by her horses and clients, and for her wonderful teachers, mentors, and family both at home and afar. For more information feel free to contact Erin.
