Ashley Horowitz

Trainer

From Arabians throughout the U.S. and in Australia to Clydesdales in Virginia to a focus now on Thoroughbreds and ponies based in Colorado, Ashley’s training experience spans many breeds and countries. While the focus of her training operation is eventing, Ashley believes in a strong riding foundation that can be applied to multiple disciplines. She trains her students of all ages and levels to compete in shows for eventing, hunter-jumpers, and dressage, as well as to go out on trail rides and build a bond with their horse. With a degree in psychology focusing in animal behavior, Ashley emphasizes the mental side of riding for both humans and horses.

At age 30, he started learning how to ride with Ashley, and now OTTBs and eventing have become a passion. So, he combines competing and announcing at events. He announces at and produces videos for the Thoroughbred Makeover presented by Retired Racehorse Project and for the Arabian Jockey Club. Jonathan is also the president of CANTER USA and of the organization that runs the Spring Gulch Horse Trials.

Chase Gubich

Do-It-All

Eight-year-old Chase likes to say that he was “born in a saddle,” which automatically makes him the second-best trainer in the world, behind his mom, of course. Chase learned to ride on most of the Thoroughbreds his mom has trained, and now he helps his mom start ponies. Chase has his own super pony that he named Froggy Smalls (Froggy) and is training a 4-year-old Arabian racehorse-turned-eventer named AA Two Face (Dos).
