Erin Obremski discusses her experience with riding and how she got to the college level with the NC State University Hunt Seat Equestrian Team.
“I started horseback riding when I was three years old, and began entering shows at around seven.

The team website and show schedule can be seen by going to clubs.ncsu.edu/equestrian.
