Corwin family

Our family is extremely grateful that we have the opportunity to work with Tovah, Kurt, and Tina. In just two months they trained Chip, our 5year old off the track thoroughbred, for our 14year old daughter to ride and show. When Chip arrived at Facet 58, he only had race experience and was completely green. Within a couple weeks of training, Tovah had our daughter, Calista, jumping Chip.

In addition to the great work Facet 58 has done with Chip, Tovah has reshaped Calista’s riding form and significantly increased her confidence as a rider. She is not only physically stronger now, but her mental determination is remarkable. To add to our satisfaction, Calista and Chip won a first, second, and reserve champion ribbon at their second show. All these achievements have taken place in a matter of only 4 months.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with Facet 58. They are very professional and have high standards of quality. They have high expectations for their students and at the same time they make learning fun.

Chase has been taking lessons at Facet 58 for close to a year now, and it’s been a wonderful experience! Chase absolutely loves it, and I have learned a great deal too. Tovah’s excellent methods and teaching style is a product of her life- long involvement in the equine world. She is like a mother to these kids, and she IS a mother to one of them… Her dear daughter Scarlet, who is an inspiration to everyone on the farm.

Tovah is there for all the milestones and hurdles without being over-bearing. She pushes when appropriate, and provides reassurance without missing a beat. Her teachings transcend the horse arena and apply to life in general!

I would recommend Tovah’s farm to anyone that has even a remote interest in horses. From the beginner to the advanced, Tovah and her entire staff exude excellence in a relaxed and nurturing environment.

Kylee, our daughter, transfered to Facet 58 for training in December of 2009. After 3 months of working hard on lesson horses, Kylee's family purchased their first horse. Pictured here is Kylee and Nebraska Knight, or better known around the barn as Gabe. They are growing as a team in their first year of competition.

Thanks to the trainers and the show team at Facet 58 for making dreams come true!

Hi Ms Tovah,
Today I was hired at my first real job and it made me think of what made me who I am and what made me push so hard in life. Aside from my mother, you have been made one of the most positive impacts on my life. When I first stepped foot onto Facet 58, I was 11 years old. Can you believe that was 5 years ago?! I was a nervous rider and a nervous person. I can still remember my first lesson like it was yesterday. After warming up, you put up an oxer. I had never jumped one before, but still, you believed that I could do it. You were so loving and welcoming from day one. Not only did you give me confidence in riding, but also in life.

After Remmy got sold and Caruso was retired, my last resort was Sammy. No matter how much I cried, or how much I complained, you pushed me forward. You were always right by my side telling me that you knew I could do it. After alot of blood, sweat and tears, we ended up being quite the pair. Not a day goes by that I don't think about that horse and how much he means to me to this day. Every time I pass by a farm and I see a chestnut that looks anything like him, I stop and hold my breath hoping and praying that it will be him.

Aside from riding, you showed me trust, patients and confidence. You taught me that you didn't always have to bring home the blue ribbon to be a winner. You also taught me that in the end, no matter how hard the work may seem, it will pay off. You taught me that you didn't always have to share DNA to be family. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me Tovah. There will always be a special place in my heart for you and Scarlet. I hope that one day I can ride with you and be a part of the big family again.
