Equine Extremist

I am Karen Turvey-Marshall, with my brother, Tommie Turvey, we were born and raised our entire lives around horses. We are extreme horse trainers and entertainers, traveling thousands of miles a year performing on horseback, meeting lots of horse lovers, training horses and having lots of fun while doing it. It's a life of uncertainty, hardship, and stress, but a life I wouldn't give up for all the joy and happiness it gives us. Here is an inside account of what we do. Thanks for stopping by.

Awesome Cover of Tommie Turvey

When we did PA Horse World Expo in Feb. there was an awesome cover of Tommie and Joker doing the hippodrome (not Roman Riding as they say in the "explanation" of the photo.) What makes it really nice is that all of Joker's feet are off the ground! At that second, Tommie is putting all his trust into Joker, and as you can see Joker is pouring it on. He is such a fast horse. Tommie buzzes the audience as he flies around the arena. People really get to feel how fast Tommie and Joker are going when he comes inches from them.

Well, gotta get back to the horses. We're going to do the obstacles and a short ride today. Cees and Sparks are headed back to their previous owners, so I thought I have a few more times with them. I'll update you when I can. Ride Fast... Take Chances! karen
