About Us
| | Adri Doyal
| |
| 
Adri grew up in the mixed world of eventing and rodeo sports.
Over the past 20 years, her family has managed events in both sports, providing Adri with a unique equestrian education.
Though her work in rodeo is a hobby now, her interest and commitment to Three Day Eventing is ever growing.
Adri has trained a number of horses, both off the track and rescued from sale barns.
By age 18, she had started, competed with, and found loving homes for over a dozen of them.
Competing from entry level through Prelim on self-made horses, she understands the challenges and rewards of the lower-level riders and their trainers, as well as what is necessary to move up the levels.
Though still working with young horses, she is currently focused on bringing the intimacy and relaxed atmosphere of a small event to the riders of this area.
Working in course design and construction for the past seven years, she is experienced in all aspects of event management.
As a part of teams that have provided events in Texas, Kansas, Tennessee, and Illinois, she has seen the evolution of many of the events inside and outside of Area V.
Having participated in USEA continuing education seminars for Technical Delegates, Course Designers, and Show Jumping Course Designers, she understands the sport, its aspects, and the challenges required at each level.
She is committed to using this knowledge to benefit the competitors and the sport.
