Wendy Peralta

 

            Wendy Peralta was born to a non-horse family and started her career as a self-proclaimed barn rat. Eager to learn she spent all of her free time at the local stable on the Eastern end of Long Island.

          Moving on Wendy worked briefly breaking racehorses and finally settled into a show horse career. She opened her own business in 1984 in North Salem, New York and relocated to Florida in 1990, calling Central Florida home ever since.  
           Wendy has had a great career showing and selling horses, and also training students receiving the highest honors in their respective divisions. She has served on the board for the Central Florida Hunter and Jumper Association, the Zone IV Jumper Committee, and is the current Chef d’ Equip of the Zone IV Young and Junior Rider teams.
