Hi and welcome to my website and thank you for visiting. Erin Orford (22) is from High Wycombe in Bucks and is on the World Class Development Para Dressage Programme. Erin was inspired to take up Para Dressage after watching it at the Paralympic Games in Athens 2004 and now competes on the International circuit in Para Dressage and also contends able-bodied classes. Erin is a bilateral amputee and is missing the radius in both arms, which means that she has shortened lower arms and only four fingers on each, however, this hasn’t stopped her from playing school team netball, basketball and table tennis, besides tackling the ski slopes. The last 4 years Erin has combined riding with studying for her Business Management degree at Birmingham University. Having graduated (with a respectable 2.1), Erin is now working as a full time rider to enable her to focus entirely on her sport in the run up to London 2012 and beyond.
