“Erin Brinkman has always been blessed with a natural feel for riding,
although she will tell you she had to work very hard to gain good body
control.  She is incredibly thorough with every horse she encounters
and just seems to speak “horse”.  She seems to me to always be evolving
in her approach to horses and I am quite often brought to tears by her
riding!  She is an enthusiastic trainer and it has been an honor to
have been her best friend for these last 10 years... “
