“This is her first year on her new ride, Confidential Agent after spending a number of very successful years on her previous horse, Dixie Chick.”

One of her highlights with Dixie Chick was being awarded with full colours from Crawford International Sandton Preparatory last year and placing 7th in the Sanesa Central Region.

“Erin has been riding at the Phaeton Park Stables, her mother had a horse at the stables, and she would scream to get on him and scream when taken off. Her parents thought it a good idea for her to build core strength and learn to love and bond with an animal so they decided to enrol her, they had no idea she would take to it as she did.”
