Laura Martino, as a lifetime horsewoman, has worked and competed in many areas of the horse world.  She started out as a working student riding whatever was available, learning to adapt quickly to any particular horse.  As an adult, she became involved with the TB racehorse industry, holding her rider's license on multiple New England tracks and spending several years breaking young horses to run.  Laura then shifted her focus by working, including teaching for high level hunter/jumper barns that allowed her to develop her riding skills at some of the biggest shows on the east coast, including Lake Placid, HITS, and WEF.  Her most recent years have found her looking to satisfy that "need for speed" that she enjoyed on the track by developing and competing her horse, Sinatra, as an eventer.  She also works as a saddle fitter, traveling throughout New England.
