UNCOVER: Andrea Davenport

Published on: 28th August, 2020

“My trainer told me I should take up tennis because I was so bad at jumping.”

Andrea Davenport has been competing in dressage for the last 15 years. Her attendance at local horse shows drew her into the scene, not only as a rider, but as part of show management.

We all know horse shows can literally be a 3-ring circus when it comes to balancing the staff, volunteers, and attendees. Andrea thrives in this type of environment and even went further to hold shows rated by the USEF.

Take a listen as we discuss Andrea's journey into the horse show world and her goals for the future.

If you ever see her at a show, be sure to speak and say "Heyyy! Can I be your friend??"
