Hi! I'm a junior from Ottawa, WI double majoring in Psychology and Social Welfare. I've been riding since I was a little girl and have shown hunter/jumper even before joining the Equestrian Team in Spring 2022. As our VP Internal Affairs I coordinate events for the club to go to as a group! I also make sure that Hoofer Riding and the Equestrian Team have things to do together to keep everyone intermingled since Hoofer Riding is the team's parent org.

Team President | Elaine West

I'm a senior from Mazomanie, WI majoring in Biology and Psychology while filling in the prerequisites for vet school. My long term goal is to be an equine veterinarian. I have been riding since I was four and have tried a variety of disciplines. I have primarily competed in hunters and equitation. Right now, I am dipping my toes into the world of eventing with my Missouri Fox trotter mare Laney. As president of the competitive equestrian team, my role is to lead meetings, delegate responsibility, and manage the administrative side of the team. I work closely with the captain, Jamie Fortunato, to keep all aspects of the team running smoothly.

Team Captain | Jamie Fortunato

I'm a senior from Connecticut studying Biology, with certificates in Global Health and Public Policy. I have been riding since I was 8 years old and have been showing around the East Coast in primarily Hunters and Equitation. I also love riding green horses! As Captain, I help our president Elaine run meetings, and at shows I help get riders ready to go into the show ring and feel confident as they head out!

Andi Bill

Advises club leaders and works in conjunction to manage club programming, as well as coaches the equestrian team for IHSA.

Andi has been riding since she was born, competing at Pony Finals every year from 1986 to 1995, and showing in the 3'6" equitation through her remaining years as a junior. She attended Mount Holyoke College and competed on their IHSA team, serving as captain her junior and senior years. It was at Mount Holyoke that Andi discovered that she enjoys teaching as much as she enjoys riding! Andi now owns Sugar Creek Stables LLC, teaching both hunt seat and dressage lessons.

Abby Douglas

Abby Douglas has been riding since she was eight years old, and was initially trained in the Western discipline. She came to UW-Madison for college and joined the Hoofer Riding Club. Here she learned to ride English and has been jumping for the past six years. She believes there are many similarities between the two disciplines and uses her knowledge of both to become a strong rider and instructor.
