Fiancé Bobby Waller (bull rider) Enjoys
riding young horses, fishing and just being outside Acquired
Stitch when the horse was just two years old and took
to barrel racing right away. She took Stitch to some
futurities and then began with a few spring rodeos in
California Parents are Larry and Ericka Richman Got
involved in barrel racing through her father. He trained
thoroughbreds and would take her to playdays, where
they had barrel racing, pole bending and western pleasure.
Once when competing in western pleasure a lady told
her she would have won the event if her hair looked
nicer. That was the moment she began focusing on barrel
racing Travels with her dog Flo Favorite rodeo
