The Sommerview Story


Brittany Sommer DeSalvo attended BREC camps as a child and explored various activities, including swimming. But one pivotal moment at a swim meet changed everything: she didn't dive into the pool when the buzzer sounded. Instead, she walked to her mom and declared her sole passion: riding horses. From that day on, Brittany's mom gave unwavering support to her equestrian journey.


When Brittany was eleven, her mom initiated the barn's humble beginnings with just two stalls. She christened it "Tallyho," a name that echoed through her cheerful phone greetings—always amusing.


Her mom dedicated herself to devouring books on horsemanship and driving Brittany across state lines for lessons and competitions. Initially, her vibrant pink van and matching custom trailer became synonymous with each endeavor. Ultimately, their hard work paid off, as Brittany started succeeding nationwide. Over time, Brittany's mom became a local legend and a pioneer who impacted the industry, and many events acknowledged and celebrated her achievements.


During her twenties, Brittany faced a challenging situation when her mom was critically ill on life support. She had to step into the business side, grappling with tasks like accessing bank accounts. Amid these struggles, she decided to rename the barn "Sommerview."


Throughout their journey, Brittany's mom's legacy and impact endured. Brittany's mom remains the cornerstone of Sommerview's success, a beacon of inspiration honored by countless shows—a testament to her indelible mark on this industry.
