Who we are
Olympia Equine Ventures, LLC was formed in 2010 by owner Brittany Harpool in South Kansas City.
Brittany grew up riding in the area competing in the Hunters/Jumpers and the Equitation. She finished her Junior career at AHSA Medal Finals and accepting a riding scholarship at Virginia Intermont College (now Emory and Henry). There she had the opportunity to compete on the IHSA, IDA, ANRC and International Student Riding Teams.
After college Brittany had the opportunity to work for Wilhelm Genn and learn the ins and outs of managing a string of Grand Prix horses on the road. Afterwards she worked for Joey Brumbaugh to learn managing and preparing horses for clients. She then spent two years primarily as a professional rider where she competed at the Grand Prix level and at the Inaugural Derby Finals in Kentucky. At this time she decided it was time to start her own program that focused on quality care and training for horse and rider with individualized programs for each pair.
Olympia Equine Ventures, LLC has to continue to learn and grow and has found a balance with groundwork, flat work and over fence training. We strive for our horses and riders to be well rounded and happy so they have long and successful careers in whatever they do.
