To keep Torre Vista Farm “small” so we can provide more personal service to each horse thus providing greater value to each boarder.Our Goals: To include breeding with our lesson program, training, and boarding operations. To continually improve training facilities, and to offer clinics with top instructors when possible.Our Philosophy: Teach dressage with the most user-friendly terminology with respect for the horse & rider.
