Australian Olympic Logo Design for Top Dressage Rider Kelly Layne

Kelly Layne has been immersed in the equestrian lifestyle since birth. Born in Queensland, Australia, Kelly’s mother Helen Antsee was a Grand Prix rider and FEI judge herself. Helen’s involvement in the world of dressage was the inspiration behind Kelly’s decision to begin competing at just 11 years old. By the time she was 12 she had been recognized as the Under 12 National Dressage Champion twice. At just 16 she placed 9th in the Open Prix St. Georges at the Australian National Dressage Championships. 

By the time she was 18, Kelly was ready to join the ranks of the true dressage professionals and begin competing in Grand Prix competition. That year, she also became a Level 1 coach in dressage, show jumping, and eventing through the Australian National Coaching Accreditation Scheme so she could help other equestrians along the path of success in these events. 

Kelly Layne has competed in some of the world’s most prestigious events for dressage riders representing her home country of Australia. In 2006 she placed 9th at the World Equestrian Games. She has also won the Hermes’ Cup and the Wellington CDI3* Grand Prix Freestyle. Kelly has also had the honor of being selected to represent Australia in the Olympic Games twice, although she had a run of tough luck both times.

Today, Kelly resides in the “dressage capital of the United States,” Wellington, Florida. There she trains outstanding dressage horses for competition at the highest levels. She also acts as a consultant for buyers who are searching for the perfect dressage horse.

Unique Australian Olympic Logo Design for 2020 Australia Olympic Team Dressage Rider Kelly Layne

The equestrian events at the Olympic Games were featured in Paris in 1900, but they became officially established as an Olympic sport during the 1912 Games in Stockholm. There are three different events that equestrians can compete in as individuals and teams-dressage, show jumping, and eventing. 

Dressage horses are the dancers of the equine athletes at the Olympic Games. Riders and horses perform a patterned “test” that requires quick gait and direction changes, lateral movements, and more performed with imperceptible aids. ThisAustralian Olympic Logo was created for dressage rider and olympic equestrian, Kelly Layne.

During the show jumping competition, horse and rider navigate a course of jumps that are often decorated to represent the culture of that year’s Olympic Games location. This event is timed, and the fastest course wins. Deductions are made for knocking down jumps or refusals.

Eventing is a combination of three events that each horse and rider pair must complete-dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. Cross-country is unique to eventing, and riders must tackle a course of approximately 40 obstacles with their equine partner. These obstacles mimic scenarios a team would face outside the arena, including hedges, water jumps, ditches, and log fences. This event is timed, and requires horse and rider to display a tremendous amount of stamina, courage, and skill.
