edit data

Toni Mari has been a dressage trainer for over twenty-five years. She established and ran High Spirits Farm, a boarding, training, breeding and show barn. Immersed in barn life day after day, after closing High Spirits Farm in New Jersey, Toni began writing, indexing and proofreading. These days, she still rides with her daughter, going to local and youth championship shows. Grace rides their homebred and trained appaloosa-thoroughbred cross, Lilly, who remarkably has many similar qualities to Windsong. Visit her at tonimaribooks.com.
