About us

Straight Forward Farm is boutique program that is lead by our head ​trainer, Hollie Conover. Hollie has been apart of the horse industry since ​she was a child. Starting her riding career at the young of age 5 years old, ​Hollie has ridden, trained and competed for over 45 years. Having had an ​extensive career in Florida, she moved to New England to work for top, ​Olympic level trainers. After gathering valuable knowledge, she qualified ​her own students for New England Medal Finals and other equitation ​finals! In early 2000, she moved back down to Florida to start her own ​business after years of learning from the top and is enjoying everyday ​teaching the younger generations all the aspects of horsemanship!





We are also excited to welcome Alexis Conover into her new ​professional career as our assistant trainer. Riding her entire life under ​the guidance of her mother, Hollie Conover, and other wonderful ​professionals that she has encountered on her journey of education, ​she has become an accomplished professional herself. Having not only ​competed for over 20 years, she has also brought a multitude of ​thoroughbred racehorses from the racetrack into successful second ​careers. She is very eager to educate the new generations of not only ​horsemanship but also hone their riding skills as well!
