For the love of horses and calm environs
When she was two, Orrick’s mother took her to a park that offered horse riding and from that day on, she was in love.
“I collected stuffed horses, read every book I could get my hands on, and even pretended I was a horse – which drove my mother crazy,” she recalls.
Orrick’s formal training began at eight and she quickly rose through the ranks at the Canadian Pony Club. She took equine veterinary and horsemanship courses and eventually became an instructor, as well as competing in distance riding and show jumping competitions.
