Adele Edwards

Sport / Training

Adele Edwards has won every major barrel race in the eastern states in the last ten years. She is renowned as a top level breeder, trainer and competitor.
Adele and her husband Darrell own 3D Quarter Horses. They have bred some of the most successful barrel racing horses in Australia from a very small and select band of broodmares.

Adele is a proven trainer of young horses. She has won all major barrel racing futurities in the past few years aboard horses that she has trained herself. These horses have then gone on to be successful for other riders.  She holds several national titles in barrel racing which she has won on different horses. Adele further  proved her worth as a barrel racing trainer when she won the EQUITANA Australian Open Barrel Race in 2012, 2018, 2020 and 2022 on her gelding Moon Roc.
The popularity of Adele’s methods has seen her in demand as a clinician. She emphasizes the importance of good horsemanship to ensure that barrel horses are able to excel in the arena. She has a simple formula for barrel racing success that can be followed by even beginners to the sport.

Her strong horsemanship skills have made her successful at retraining problem horses and helping those whose horses are not performing at their best. She does this in a positive and calm manner ensuring that both horse and rider can understand what she is trying to achieve.

Adele has spent time training with the best in the world to hone her skills. She is a well-respected horsewoman who has something to offer anyone interested in barrel racing.
