• Audra Bielke (click to go back to "About Us")

Audra Bielke has been involved with horses since the age of five. Growing up in Wayzata, Minnesota she became an avid three day eventer with her Thoroughbred, Golden Opportunity, aka Goldie. After a summer spent in Pennsylvania as a working student for three day eventing Gold Medalist Phillip Dutton, Audra decided to leave Minnesota and move east. This decision led her to pursue her undergraduate degree at Bucknell University, where she double majored in International Relations and East Asian Studies.>Of course, Audra brought her faithful companion, Goldie, to Bucknell with her. In May 2004 Audra moved to Washington, DC, with Goldie (now retired from competition) in tow. Goldie lived in Middleburg and Audra lived in Georgetown. During this time, Audra also acquired Raffie, a rescue Thoroughbred from Florida. Fed up with the long commute to the barn, Audra and her husband, Tom, bought a farm near Fredericksburg, Virginia in February 2006. They currently live at Spring Farm with their Three horses and two golden retrievers.

When she's not out exploring her new stomping grounds with Goldie and Raffie, Audra works for Prospect 33, a global offshore and nearshore sourcing IT company. Audra is thrilled to join the board of Thoroughbred Network and looks forward to participating in its future growth and development.
