Erin "Bring The Funk" Richardson

Horse: Beezer (Hesaneleganttomcat), a 17 year old registered QH and my first horse.  He and I have been best buds - causing' trouble for almost 14 years! 

Family: I have two awesome parents - supporting me 110% in my pursuit of the horsey life; an older brother, Sean, who tolerates my horses but is secretly afraid... and a GIGANTIC urban family too big to list (and risk offending people!).  I have been very lucky to have such strong support for my endeavors, I know few get to be as fortunate.

Drill History: This will be 5 years for me in drill.  I was out trail riding one day and ran into a neighbor whom I'd known since I was a kid.  She invited me to a practice and the rest is history.  I was Choreographer for Rhythm N Reins in 2005 and Co-Captain of this team in 2006.    

Why I Enjoy Drill: For me, drill encompasses everything I enjoy - Horses, Competition (without politics), Speed, and Camaraderie.

Motto: This is bad, because I am a collector of quotes.  Here are two:

"Lead me not temptation, for I know the way myself."

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.  We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly.  We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."  -- Aristotle
