Tommie Turvey"The Art of Horsemanship Required for the Film and Live Show Industry"
Tommie's first job in bringing out the best in a horse was the in auction ring. Often riding young green untrained horses, Tommie would jump on with just a halter and ride bareback. He would ride the horse back and forth in a 12x20 foot ring while the Auctioneer proclaimed "look even a 10 year old kid can ride this horse". The "Artist" was born. In 1989 at 19 years old, Tommie began working at Arabian Nights in Kissimmee FL. Glen Randall, Corky Randall, Kim Barteau, Rex Rossi, Gaylord Maynard were just some of the great trainers from which Tommie learned.

All this while performing in front of 1200 dinner guests.
Tommie's favorite act was the "Riding"act, aka"Bareback" aka"Rosinback". This act allows the rider to ride any way he/she chooses. Standing on a cantering horse, he would jump though rings of fire and back summersault from one horse to another all this while maintaining a beautiful artistic pose.
Tommie landed a job in Paris France in 1992 working for Mario Luraschi, one of the greatest horseman alive. After two years Tommie returned and toured with the Royal Haneford Circus. After three years he developed and created his own signature acts, including THE RIDING INSTRUCTOR

After the project’s completion, she accepted a position with Clemson Cooperative Extension and moved to South Carolina.

She was invited at 15yrs to move to Keswick to ride and show, a few years later moving to Middleburg continuing to ride and show, and finally in 1989 she moved to SC where she lives on her Fox Point Farm today.

Her 'Showing Naturally Demo Team' travels and inspires audiences into searching deeper and developing a deeper relationship to achieve higher goals.
