Been there, done that!
Those four words encapsulate Tovah's equestrian life. Very few farms in town have trainers who are able to say that. Since the age of six Tovah was immersed into an equestrian training program whose goal was the ultimate success. Not only did she compete at every possible level, but she also trained with the most respectful and well known riders in the country.
Success was prevalent throughout Tovah's career as she qualified, showed and won at the best venues in the country including: WEF, Pony Finals, Devon , Harrisburg and Washington International. Crowning her junior years, at the age of 15 Tovah qualified and competed at the most prestigious equestrian event in the nation to which only the top 15 nationwide riders are invited, Madison Square Garden, NY.
She then embarked on a parallel course learning, training and managing racing horses, horse breeding and finally training future horse riders at her own farm. These activities and skills have augmented her knowledge and understanding of horses and riders alike which puts Tovah in the enviable position of being the ideal horse trainer and rider instructor.
Please give us a call to talk about your needs and goals so together we can discuss the training path that will surely bring you success in the much coveted A-Circuit events. Each rider and horse is unique and each will benefit from a custom training program.
