My name is Tosha Buker, and I was born with an obsession for horses and no means to pursue them. I didn’t come from a “horse family” or wealthy lineage. I quickly learned to replace wishing my circumstances were different with working to make them change. I did the tasks no one else wanted to do, put in the hours that others shied away from, rode the horses no one would touch, and slowly built a world where doors kept opening for me in the equestrian world. I learned invaluable lessons, made mistakes, and tasted victory. Now, I want to share it all with you.

 

I’ve successfully trained and competed horses across many disciplines, including three-day eventing, endurance, dressage, and hunter/jumpers. I’ve taken part in many aspects of the equine industry such as retraining off the track thoroughbreds, breeding farm operations and foal imprinting, young horse starting, sales and marketing, buying and selling, teaching, training, catch riding, experience as a working student, groom, and stable hand. There is hardly a position in this world I haven’t been in, and after years of being asked for advice on various topics, I am happy to offer it all in one place so that your navigation through the world of horses can be a little easier.

 

Sierra Nevada Equestrian is the culmination of my lifetime’s passion, dedication, and genuine love for horses. My hard-earned knowledge and experience are now yours.
