Meet Elana
The Beginning
Elana grew up in Northern Ontario where her family raised deer and chickens. Her love for horses convinced the family to get a horse, and the journey began! Within 5 years the family had brought in 22 untouched yearlings from Alberta that needed to be re-homed. This is where Elana learned the basics of starting horses. She soon fell in love and decided to keep the horses to start the family business "Von Doeler's Ranch" which is still operating to this day.
Olympic Vision
Elana has always had a passion for competing. She thrived in 3 Day Eventing and speed events. Her goal was to compete at the Olympics, training for 15 years with that in goal in mind. Elana and her horse High Star competed to the CCI*** level and were invited to Olympic Training camps when High Star was diagnosed with a career-ending bone chip. It was that which pushed Elana into the world of barrel racing, a discipline she had done on the side of her Eventing career since a young age.
Barrel Racing
Since taking a break from Eventing competition, Elana has focused on raising and training barrel horses from start to finish. She has trained multiple 1D and highly competitive rodeo horses. Alongside competing and training, she loves to coach & help riders understand the entire picture on their horsemanship journey. Elana is very focused on correct fundamentals and has a keen eye for detail.
