About Us
How Two Bits Farm was created.
Heather and Lauren met through a mutual horse friend in 2016 and decided to turn their love of horses into a business to be shared with anyone interested in learning more about horses at any level.
Heather
Heather started riding at the age of 8 at a Hunter/Jumper barn down the street from her home. After a year of riding, she leased her first pony and later bought her first horse when she started learning Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing by joining the United States Pony Club. She graduated Pony Club with her 'B' Rating and continued to show, teach and train horses throughout her years at college. After college she worked for a large Hunter/Jumper farm as a trainer/barn assistant in Maryland. She then moved back to Florida and has continued to work part time in the horse business teaching lessons and training horses in the Tampa area for the last 21 years.
Lauren
Lauren's love of horses began when she was young. She got her first horse from a Mustang Rescue 8 years ago, and began learning all she could about the amazing bond between horse, and rider. Lauren and her mustang Wintu have grown together as a bonded pair, and the farm has grown with that love. Lauren enjoys obstacle work, ground training, and all aspects of horsemanship with her horses, and of course, her amazing mini donkey, Esteban!
