Trout has been riding and training both hunters and jumpers since the
early 1970's. From 1972 to 1976 he trained and competed in 3-day eventing

| From 1982 to 1987 Thom was the Director and a Partner at Our Farm Inc in Norristown, PA. The facility was a newly built commercial riding center at the time. Once there he created a business plan which resulted in 73 boarding cutomers and 200 riding lessons per week. All while maintaining 35 horses that were competing at both the National and International level. Continuing to do a great deal of sales, Thom was brokering and importing $750,000.00 to $1,000,000.00 yearly in horse deals. During his time there Thom also helped develop the Our Farm Inc and Briarwood Farm horse show series. After leaving Our Farm Inc, Thom purchased a 20 acre, 28 stall working horse farm in Frenchtown, NJ where he continued to train, show, and broker local and improted show horses. In 1993 Thom was asked to coach the US team in the Central American Games in Ponce, Puerto Rico, winning both the individual and team Silver Medals. Thom then moved in 2000 to Essex Equestrian Center in West Orange, NJ where he was the Director and Head Trainer for seven years. Upon arrival, the operation was failing. Within the first year revenue increased by 2900% and safety improved by 73%. The facitilty averaged 300 riding lessons per week and provided a Certified Riding for the Handicapped program on location that averaged 90 lessons per week. Thom has recently returned to conducting business during the summer in Pompton Plains, NJ and spending the winter months in both Ocala and Wellington, FL.
