Sandy and Jen were founding members of the Southwest Florida Dressage and Combined Training Association (now known as the Southwest Florida Dressage Association). Part of Sandy's vision for DaVinci Farms has been to recreate the combined training orientation of her old farm (below).


Diane Corti Stable Manager Diane has an impressive background with horses. She grew up on race tracks, where she did everything from breezing Thoroughbreds to treating injuries. Her vast experience also includes tenures with a veterinarian clinic and upscale hunter-jumper and dressage barns. Her love for horses and service-oriented dedication to the business are immediately obvious. She and her husband John (formerly a farrier up north) live on the premises so that the horses have 24 hour care. Diane and John always take great pains to go the extra mile for our horses and owners. Above Right: (Circa 1975) Diane, back in her track days, proudly holds one of her winning Thoroughbreds for its post-race photo. Steve Bena & Alyssa Werger Farm Management Assistants Steve grew up on a farm in Iowa and had his own construction business for 33 years. His stepdaughter Alyssa helps him out on the farm in the afternoons, and together they have become an "A Team"! Steve and Alyssa have a wonderful way with the horses, and their work ethics and cheerful attitudes have made them a valuable asset to our farm. They enjoy learning about the horses' unique personalities and habits in order to build good relationships with them.
