Heidi Kovar started riding when she was 8 years old. She learned most of her dressage and jumping training in Bamberg, Germany under Herr Neuman at Bamberger Reitverien. While in Germany she made it up to 3rd Level Dressage. She was approached about the German Olympic Team but declined it due to her age. Heidi has been teaching lessons for 12 years. She expects her students to want to be the best rider possible and put forth the most effort in each lesson. Heidi started Four Oaks Stables with her parents Uschi and Larry Holbrook in 1998.
