The firm’s success is due in large measure to Lorri Hayward Vincent’s status as a life-long accomplished equestrian, which gives her a practical and knowledgeable insight into the proper and functional design of equestrian facilities. This highly specialized design field is complex and diverse with over 54 disciplines of riding and over 200 recognized breeds of horses, each having their own special design needs. Over the years, Lorri has traveled nationally and internationally to tour, review, study, and analyze equestrian events and competition venues that host the diverse equestrian events. These tours included interviews with competitors, competitor support staff, facility owners exhibitors, spectators, vendors, event managers, show organizers, and maintenance and service crews. The extensive study also included the facility design needs and requirements for the use, handling, and housing of all livestock as they relate to the specific equestrian disciplines that incorporate their use, such as, rodeos, cutting, roping, team penning, steer wrestling, etc. By combining vocation of design with the life-long avocation of riding, Lorri brings an expertise and comprehensive understanding into the design of equestrian facilities.
