Life Comes Full Circle

Marlo Vivenzio was raised on the 500 acre Starwood Ranch, in Aspen, Colorado which her family and approximately 100 horses called home. At an early age, Marlo learned to be one with nature and animals, and she loved to hike, be outdoors, and spend time with the horses.

Sonny, a calm Quarter Horse, waited patiently while Marlo perched on a salt block to apply her halter. Because there were no human neighbors close by, Sonny and the other horses became Marlo's great friends. When Marlo was about 10 years old, she moved with her family to Utah where she continued to grow in the equestrian arts. Marlo began riding in the sport of Endurance Riding where she competed successfully. She then transferred her experience to the dressage arena at the age of 14.

Marlo began as a working student and groom to gain the building blocks and knowledge for her current business, Vivenzio Dressage. With her most recent move to High Star Ranch, she has been able to provide her daughter—and her clients— with the same excellent experience she had growing up close to nature and the animals she loves.
