Erika Dieltz began assisting LK on the road in 2021, and we are so appreciative of her horsemanship skills and positive energy. She has been a literal lifesaver during their travels together (just don’t ask LK about that one time Erika took her on the “black diamond” hike during their pit stop at Devil’s Tower in Wyoming!). Erika has worked in the horse industry for over 20 years and loves to travel, meet people and their horses, and visit different farms.

Erika rides many disciplines, and has trained all of her own horses over the years. Her first horse, a National Show Horse mare named RC, has been in Erika’s life for 24 years (RC is now 27!). She bought her Arabian gelding Romero in 2018, and together they have done everything from trail riding in the Black Hills, to jumping cross-country. Romero is a flirt and is always on the lookout for delicious snacks. Their saddles of choice are their one-of-a-kind CL Custom western saddle and the County Extreme Monoflap.

When Erika is not working or riding, she loves traveling, biking, dancing, camping, checking out restaurants, and going on adventures!
