Erin received Odyssey on October 3rd, 2007, when he was 7.  She had only been riding for about 6 months at the time, and that is about how long he had been saddle trained.  She says they were learning together which was really cool.

She took lesson on him 3 days a week, and rode him about 5 days a week.  They were jumping the following spring.  He was boarded at Allenwood Stables for a year while a barn was being build at home.  He went home in the spring of 2008.   Odyssey lives with two other horses, Jasmine, a 6 year-old Morab and Jubilee, a 10 year-old Appendix.

Erin and her sister ride around 5 acres of hayfield and on the dirt roads near their house.   They go on a lot of trail rides with friends who live 2 miles from them.  Erin also does quite a bit of jumping with Odyssey.  Sometimes she setup a few little jumps on the property and other times she rides him down to a friends barn and uses her indoor arena.  Erin also does a lot of bareback riding, even bareback jumping.

Both Odyseey and Erin love to go for a nice gallop.  It seems sometimes, like he as unlimited energy.
