Meet Erin
Erin has been riding horses since she was 5 years old. She competed in 4-H from ages 7-18 and also on the Kansas State Horse Show Circuit in Halter, Showmanship, Hunter Under Saddle, Equitation, Western Pleasure, Horsemanship, Trail, Barrels, Poles and Flags. Erin trained three colts while growing up in 4-H, finishing in the Top 3 at the Kansas State Fair with all three colts. These geldings went on to show at APHA and AQHA shows and one is currently serving in a Therapeutic Riding program.
Erin attended Kansas State University, graduating in 2010 with a Bachelors in Agricultural Education and a Minor in Animal Science and Industry. While at K-State, Erin rode on the Equestrian Team, lettering her sophomore and senior years and earning other individual awards. After College, she taught High School Agriculture for two years and then moved back to Olathe to pursue her horse training dream.
After one year of learning the ropes, Erin is building her own facility on the outskirts of Olathe, KS. Her clientele includes students ages 5-50+ competing at all levels in a variety of events. Her specialties are Hunter Under Saddle and pattern classes and her priority is building a relationship between you and your horse based on positive communication and trust.
