ADRIENNE LYLE HELIX During their first European tour as a partnership, Lyle and Helix were consistent in both of their observation events at Hagen and Kronberg, recording scores near the 72% mark in the Grand Prix and close to 74% in the Grand Prix Special.
Born and raised in Whidbey Island, Wash., Adrienne began in the United States Pony Club and was recognized as a huge talent early on. With only occasional group riding lessons, Lyle qualified for and competed in the North American Youth Championship in 2004 riding Miguel and went on to ride with her future coach, Olympian Debbie McDonald, as a working student in 2005. By 2012, Adrienne had represented the U.S. at the Olympics for the first time (London). With huge success in between at World Games and Nations Cup, she also competed at Tokyo (Team Silver) and this week in Paris makes her third Olympic appearance.
