Oakdale Equestrian Center
Terry Adcock, Owner
Terry is an active member of Deep Run Hunt Club, an avid dressage rider and eventer who competes at the local and recognized level. Growing up riding in Central Virginia, Terry took a 20+year hiatus from horses. She purchased Oakdale Equestrian Center in 1999, renovated it and began riding again in 2000. Terry found her love of Irish Sport Horses and Irish Daughts in 2003 and it was all uphill from there. Terry currently has 4 Irish horses in her barn (Sam, Liam, Red & Wally). You will often see her out riding "Sam" whose main focus is dressage, "Wally" whose focus is eventing and her newest Irish Draught, "Red", who will step up to be Terry's hunt mount.
Terry is also an active realtor specializing in horse farms, farmettes and new builds in and around Powhatan, VA. In Terry's spare time (not that there is much!), she enjoys spending time with her pet fox "Harriett". Terry is also an active community member of Powhatan, a board for Powhatan Farm Bureau & a chair member of the Powhatan County Agricultural & Forestal District Committee.

Wade Palmore, Maintenance Extraordinaire
Wade was born and raised in Powhatan, still residing on the same farm he grew up on. Wade stays busy fixing fences, dragging fields, fixing things that Terry & Emily break, and building new XC jumps! In his free time, Wade love building things and his greenhouse. Wade raises fruits and vegetables to sell and share with this friends and family.
Harriett, Oakdale Mascot
Harriett is Terry's domesticated fox. Harriet was Terry's birthday present in 2017. She is a rare silver, red fox. You can often see Harriett napping in the front yard and occasionally (often) stealing things from inside the house to hide outside. Harriett definitely keeps things interesting around the farm! There is always a good story to tell involving her!
