No stranger to the Canberra equestrian community, Erin started her riding journey at Canberra Equestrian Centre at 8 years of age on a spotted appaloosa named Leopold. It was a quick progression from ‘Dad can I have riding lessons?’ to owning her first Thoroughbred at 13. Erin found her love and passion for eventing with her first horse, Jai, who was a local celebrity among the Pony Clubs. Erin went on to compete at 1* and 2* with her talented equine partners, Foxground Declan and Keliven Cappaccuino. Comfortable with a busy schedule and a touch of chaos – in her ‘spare time’ Erin manages 120 acres complete with a small herd of angus cattle and eight horses (at last count).
