\u201cIt was awesome [to win],\u201d said Erickson, who, along with Gilpin, trains with Colleen Acosta at Fairway Farm. \u201c[Chacco Lait]\u2019s been so good these past two weeks, so it\u2019s really nice to pull it all together. I loved today\u2019s track. The jump-off was perfect for him. There weren\u2019t really any tight turns, it was just galloping around, and he was amazing. He\u2019s great at that. He likes to just gallop and run around. That\u2019s his favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erickson has been partnered with Chacco Lait, her 16-year-old Oldenburg gelding, for nearly five years, and together the duo has climbed the ranks from the Low Junior Jumpers to the grand prix ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know him like the back of my hand,\u201d said Erickson. \u201cHe tries really hard for me. As he gets older, it\u2019s crazy, he just keeps jumping better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
