Michael Bertozzi is owner and Trainer at Cavallo Farm, a Hunter / Jumper barn that has been operating out of Northern Virginia for more than 25 years. Michael grew up in Colorado and New York and graduated from Colorado State University with a B.S. in Equine Science.  

When founding Cavallo, his goal was to create a friendly, family-oriented environment where clients enjoy riding and showing successfully. Riding is a family affair for the Bertozzi’s; Michael met his wife Marie while he was head trainer at Coco Crater Equestrian Center in Hawaii, and both his daughters grew up riding and eventually became Division 1 equestrian athletes.

Over the years, Michael has trained Junior and Amateur riders to multiple state and national titles in all three rings. His training philosophy centers around supporting each rider and horse achieve their personal goals through exercises that strengthen fundamental horsemanship philosophies.

When not in the ring, Michael enjoys fishing, cooking, and playing poker.
