Summary

I have many years of experience training and selling top level show horses. This year, I trained my first crop of 2 year olds and traveled to Fasig Tipton's May sale, and OBS June. I have grown up in the Equine Veterinary world. My mother is Dr. Cara Erwin-Oliver and my grandfather is Dr. Rick Erwin. I love all things horses and always have their wellbeing in mind.
