“One of the best decisions I’ve made in my 50 years as a rider and horse owner(in 3 countries!)was to spend a day trying horses at Cemone Rovira’s barn in Florida. It was there that I found this gem of a mare, my beloved girl Poppy! Cemone is a true horsewoman, a lovely rider and a consummate professional who goes above and beyond for her clients – in my case that involved standing in the pouring rain while I rode 4 times! She’s a thoughtful, caring trainer who truly wants what’s best for the horses she campaigns and for the riders who come to look at them. I trusted her and her staff implicitly and ended up with exactly what I was looking for – I will be grateful for that forever!” -Carol Cawley
Simba
“Working with Cemone and RSH was an awesome experience. My trainer chatted with her in advance of our visit to determine horses that would best suit my needs, and we looked at four awesome prospects. Cemone and her team graciously pivoted and allowed me to come back the following day to re-try two of the horses, as I needed a little more time to make a decision. The purchase process was a breeze, and the horse I bought was accurately represented medically and training-wise in his ad. Rory (previously Simba) is a sweet and silly boy and has been a great addition to my life. I’m so thankful to Cemone and her team for helping match us together! ” -Danielle Ryan
Kansas
“After a long and frustrating search, I was lucky enough to be referred to Cemone and her beautiful horse Kansas. The entire experience was terrific. From my first “test” ride through his delivery in May of 2024 , I couldn’t have asked for more. Cemone was professional and very approachable throughout and after the process. Kansas was everything he was marketed as being and I couldn’t be happier! He has become a barn favorite and gets along great with other riders and horses. I enjoy every second with Kansas and look forward to many years with him. I would not hesitate to work with Cemone on any future purchases and highly recommend her to anyone looking forward to a great horse buying experience!” -Kris Mckenzie
Teddy
“Purchasing my daughter’s horse from Cemone Rovira was an exceptional experience marked by professionalism and care. Cemone’s expertise ensured a seamless process, resulting in the ideal match- a horse whose outstanding athleticism aligns perfectly with the rigorous demands of upper-level eventing and supports my daughter’s drive for excellence. This thoughtful pairing has laid the foundation for a lasting partnership that we deeply value! Truly, thank you!” -Jessie Looney
Rhianna
“Just wanted to say that we love our horse we bought from Rovira SportHorses. Rhianna has been with us for over a month and has been an absolute angel and even better than advertised! Cemone is extremely Kind and helpful, providing all kinds of crazy videos of horses upon request. Thank you so much for everything.” -Rebecca Mccormack
Lex
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cemone Rovira, and I can confidently say she exemplifies professionalism, integrity, and deep expertise in the equine world. Whether training horses, sourcing the right match for a rider, or assisting in the sale or purchase of a horse, Cemone consistently brings insight, patience, and a clear understanding of both horse and rider needs. What sets Cemone apart is her ability to truly read a horse and pair it with the right person – not just based on skill level, but temperament, goals, and long-term compatibility. She is honest in her assessments, transparent in her communication, and committed to creating successful, lasting partnerships. I would highly recommend Cemone to anyone seeking a trustworthy, knowledgeable professional in horse training or sales. Her passion for what she does shines through in every aspect of her work.”

“Rovira Sport Horses is a top notch sales and training facility. Cemone is knowledgeable, talented, and provides excellent care to the horses in her program. I have been thrilled with the way she has managed and marketed the several imported horses I have placed with her, all of whom have been well sold to great homes. In the equine world, it is rare to find a professional who combines business, marketing and sales acumen with extremely advanced riding skills and a knack for match making between horses and riders – all while maintaining integrity and transparency on both sides of a transaction – and always putting horse welfare first.” -Crissa Gillette
Dollar
“Cemone, Sydney, and their team helped us find the most amazing and perfect horse for my daughter! He is a true unicorn! We looked at several horses before here, but nothing compared to the options that they offered. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. They were honest and genuine, which is sometimes hard to find in this industry. We will absolutely work with them again when given the opportunity!” -Aimee Brayman
Ziggy
“Cemone and her team helped me to find my forever horse. Above everything, Cemone placed her focus on the best interests of the horse and rider as well as compatability. This was my first horse purchase, and their guidance was profesional and honest and with their knowledge and commitment to pairing lasting matches, they led me to make a perfect choice with my horse, Ziggy.” Anne & Ziggy- purchase date Nov. 2024
Sweetie E
“I am beyond thrilled with Cemone and Rovira Sport Horses and do not have enough nice things to say. Cemone was incredible to deal with every step of the process. She is an incredible and kind rider and the progress that she made on my mare in only 3 months is astounding. When I showed my friend a video, she didn’t recognize my horse! A situation change on my end required me to take my mare back, but even then Cemone has set us up for success every step of the way. Her marketing, care, and training is unmatched. If you are looking for someone to sell your horse, look no further. Thank you for everything!” -Belle Crouse
Benny
“Working with Cemone and her team was an enjoyable experience. She helped me every step of the way and was very informative. When it came time to vet check and get our new horsey home, she connected me with a trusting vet in her area and an amazing shipper. I would definitely do business with her in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us with Benny! We love him. He is a well-trained horse and amazes us every day with his talent. My daughter and he are the perfect fit, which you recognized from the start!” -Brandis Jones
Chaccie
“Chaccie is doing great. He settled right in and we adore him!” -Staci Barber
Marley
“Marley is my dream horse and Cemone made it easy and stress-free. Everyone at home loves Marley and everywhere we go people always ask me where I got him! The trial at her facility was comfortable and each horse I tried was safe, well trained and as-described. Cemone is professional, communicative and cares deeply about making lasting matches between horse and rider. The purchasing, vetting and shipping process was straightforward and Cemone supported us a lot along the way. I know I can reach out to Cemone anytime for advice on training or feeding questions and it feels so reassuring to have her as a resource post-purchase. I would highly recommend working with Cemone for your horse buying needs!”

“Just wanted to share a quick note that Goldie is doing SO WELL! She is SO PERFECT. She will be mine forever, just love her!” -Heather Zaccagnini
Styles
“I have been consistently impressed with my experience using Rovira Sport Horses from my perspective as both a purchaser and seller. The buying process was smooth and seamless from showing to pickup. Even when there was a small hiccup, Cemone quickly jumped into action and made sure everything proceeded smoothly. My buyer experience led me to Cemone when it was time to sell. During the selling process, communication and professionalism were top notch. She gave me the perfect amount of professional guidance during the process, which made me feel at ease. My horse was sold in less than 45 days after listing with Cemone, which was perfect and sooner than expected. I particularly loved the updates and photos sent to me frequently during the sale process. I highly recommend Rovira Sport Horses for all your horse buying and selling needs!” -Terrie Bass

Balou
“Cemone Rovira and Rovira Sport Horses are a professional, first-class operation. The training they give the horses in their sales program is super. The search to find the best horse and rider combinations is heartfelt and honest. She trained and sold my Balou du Rouet colt to a 5* program. I would highly recommend contacting Cemone for any aspect of your training and sales needs.” -Don Havig
Deuce
“I will always be grateful to my trainer who introduced me to Cemone who in turn introduced me to Deuce. I had aspirations to compete in 3 phase eventing but had never jumped a horse or ridden dressage. Cemone took note of my riding experience and goals. Out of her talented and trained horses she chose Deuce. Cemone felt that Deuce and I were a good match. Deuce had all the bases covered. From my first ground pole to verticals and on to cross country jumps and dressage. As Deuce and I progressed in our training, Cemone would check in just to see how we were doing. Cemone is not only committed to horses on property but after they are matched with their perfect partner. When friends are looking for a new horse I immediately direct them to Cemone. The time, energy, commitment and care Cemone gives to her horses is truly remarkable. ” -Deb Gallipo
Bevin
“I worked with Cemone to both buy and sell a horse, and had great experiences with each. When I was looking for a horse, Cemone was really accommodating to my availability, since I don’t live in Florida. She was very honest about which horses she thought would or wouldn’t work for me, based on what I was looking for. I actually ended up buying the first horse Cemone had me try, as she was just what I was looking for. Even after the horse had left Cemone’s, she was still really responsive and willing to help with any questions as my new horse adjusted to her new life. I then sold another horse through Cemone, and she was really communicative about how he was doing, what her plans were for him, and how different trials had gone. She sold him in less than two months and he went to the perfect home! I was pretty particular about the type of home I wanted for him and that’s exactly what Cemone found. He’s thriving at his new home, and I couldn’t be happier with both where he ended up and how things are going with my new horse over a year after buying her.” -Andrea Martinez
Grace
“Cemone and her team at Rovira Sport Horses made the entire process of buying a horse such a breeze! Cemone’s professionalism and expertise of the equestrian sport is unmatched. Thank you for preparing Grace Come Home for a successful show jumping career!” -Hannah Hardin
Guinness
“I highly recommend Rovira Sporthorses. Over the past few years, Cemone has successfully sold several horses for me with the utmost professionalism. She consistently matches each horse to the right rider, always prioritizing the welfare of the horse above all else. Her deep expertise and integrity make the sales process smooth and transparent for both buyer and seller. It’s always a pleasure working with her!”
-C. Gwynn
Gucci
“Buying a horse off of video is hard enough, try finding someone you trust to consign with! I initially contacted Cemone through Facebook (the platform through which, apparently, all horse transactions are now brokered?) because I noticed the quality of her sales horses was phenomenal. I had a lovely, but somewhat quirky, horse that just didn’t fit my goals. Cemone welcomed him with open arms and was patient in taking the time to get to know him before advertising. Throughout the entire process, she remained thoughtful, communicative, and most importantly, competent! I felt like she genuinely cared about him finding the right match, and he indeed found a wonderful home. Cemone is a true professional. ” -Tara Lewis
Zuko
“I had the best experience working with Cemone and ended up finding my next “heart horse” when I least expected it. I had been following her posts on Facebook and inquired about a few horses listed, but none were the right fit. She was very upfront and honest about their traits and clearly cared about finding the right match for both horse and rider. I shared a synopsis of what I was looking for, and sure enough, my Zuko boy showed up a week later, fitting my description to a tee. I was excited but a little apprehensive about moving forward. While I had owned a few horses for 20+ years, I had never bought a finished horse before (much less through a consignment seller) — but Cemone instantly eased my worries and made me feel confident in my decision with zero pressure. Her transparent yet professional manner carried through from start to finish, and she made the whole purchase process effortless. We’re two years into our partnership, but it feels like he’s been here forever — that’s when you know you’ve found the one! I’m forever grateful the universe led me to her and Zuko.” -Kellie Brewer Majorie
Yippie
“I am delighted to share my experience with Cemone and the facility where she owns and represents. The care provided to each horse is truly exceptional—every animal receives impeccable attention that reflects a deep commitment to their well-being. The professional atmosphere is evident from the moment you arrive, with a clean, organized environment that prioritizes both safety and efficiency for horse and rider alike. Cemone stands out as a very responsible young professional with remarkable attention to detail. Her dedication to matching the right horse and rider team is impressive, ensuring the best fit for success and harmony. Over the past 24 months, she has represented several of our horses for sale with great professionalism. She has been consistently responsive, frequently sharing photos and updates on training progress, which has been invaluable. Additionally, Cemone manages the scheduling of farrier and veterinary appointments with efficiency and care, coordinating smoothly between owners and service professionals. The turnout of horses for sale and photos is always impeccable, showcasing each horse in its best light. Overall, the facility’s focus on safety, cleanliness, and high standards, combined with Cemone’s expertise,e makes for an outstanding experience for both horses and owners. I highly recommend her for the sale of your equine.” -Tamara Woitas
Khalessi
“I reached out to Rovira Sport Horses initially to look at one they had on consignment, and while that specific one was not a fit for me, I was very impressed by how up front and professional they were throughout the entire process, so I sent my horse for Cemone to sell which resulted in a great outcome. In the meantime, Cemone offered to look for a horse for me during her trip to shop for horses in Ireland. She sent me many videos of horses to review, all within my budget, and I proceeded with one of them. She then arranged all of the vetting and travel and stayed very responsive to any questions I had along the way. I love my Irish Sport Horse, and I highly recommend Rovira Sport Horses for both purchasing and consignment!” -Amy Moreshead
Daisy
“Cemone has a first-class operation. She is fantastic! We decided to go into a different discipline, and she sold three of our horses this past year. Cemone was able to ensure they went to the best homes. We are very pleased with Rovira Sporthorses!” -Colleen St Louis
Pumpkin
“Cemone is wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable about horses and what to do to help them to perform at their best. If you need training skills, she is the lady to see!” -Patty Dundlis
Dave
“I am absolutely delighted to be Dave’s new person. Cemone accurately described Dave. Dave has clearly been loved and well-trained. He is already a barn favorite. Cemone made the whole process incredibly easy – from letting us try a few different horses while we were visiting Ocala, to arranging the purchase and helping with Dave’s transport. Thank you so much!” -Christy Almond
Teddy
“My family recently just purchased a pony from Cemone and the process couldn’t have better. The quality of training and exposure while the horses are in her care, plus the communication and transparency of each sale is top notch. Knowing that she is a trusted connection, I felt confident in relying on her expert information and match making all while being from out of state. She had unbiased veterinary and shipping contacts for me to utilize. My pony arrived even better than I could have imagined and our family is just thrilled to have him. Without a doubt, I’d recommend Cemone and her operation for anyone looking for their next competitive partner or simply a perfect match for their family.” Kaitlynn Gaskill – Montpelier VA
Mongo
“Highly recommend Cemone and Rovira Sport Horses. I have both purchased and sold horses through Cemone and believe she has a top-notch program. She listens to the clients, knows her horses, and represents them honestly. Her horses are beautifully trained and wonderfully cared for. She’s the first person I contact when we are searching for a new horse, and the only person I trust to send horses to for sale.”
-Kristen G.
Rory
“Buying a pony through Cemone was a great experience! She was responsive, honest, and the pony who arrived was exactly as described. She even used DocuSign for ease of signing the sale paperwork. Highly recommend!”
-Erin K.
Sammy
“Cemone has been fantastic to work with on both sides of a sale. As a buyer, we found her honest and easy to work with through the whole process. She worked closely with us to accommodate our schedule while shopping, ensured we only tried horses appropriate for the rider, and outlined the process clearly. On the sales side, she worked hard to learn our pony’s nuances prior to posting him for sale. Her due diligence led to immediate interest and a very quick sale to a very appropriate client. “
-Deborah B.
I cannot recommend Cemone enough. I manage an eventing/dressage barn that has purchased/sold through her, and each experience has been wonderful. What separates Cemone from others I have interacted with? Her honesty and level of dedication to doing it right. We have contacted her about horses for sale, and she has told us when it is not a good match for the rider. She cares about where her sale horses go, and that says a lot. When it comes to the sales process, she is beyond thorough. She takes the time to get to know the horse before listing it. She puts the training rides in to ensure your horse is at its best before buyers come out, and I love that. It’s not about a quick post and fingers crossed, it’s about representing the horse properly.
-Stephanie E.
Prince
“We are SO happy with the purchase of Prince, Cemone made this sale so easy as the horse already had a full set of beautiful rads, was exactly as described, and I flew in from Arizona and he rode as wonderful as the videos he was advertised with. Vetting and shipping went smooth, and he arrived in perfect health and since arriving home he’s been every bit of the horse he was sold as. We continue to love him more and more and my trainers are thrilled with him! I can’t thank her enough for setting me up for success with the perfect match.”
-Nicole K.
B
“I wanted to reach out and thank you for the perfect match I have found with Fernhill B First. He is everything and more as he was described. Personality, talent and endless patience! He is my heart. Thank you from Carolyn C.”
Chino
“I had an amazing experience with Cemone and her team at Rovira Sport Horses when buying my new horse! Everything from start to finish was professional, honest, and incredibly communicative. Cemone was always available for questions and was very transparent about the horse I flew out to try. I went without my trainer, and she made the entire experience comfortable and supportive. The vetting process was smooth, and she provided reliable recommendations for a local vet to perform the exam. She represents very high-quality horses, and I’ve been incredibly happy with the horse I purchased, he has met all of our expectations and more. I would highly recommend Cemone if you are shopping for a horse; she is an honest, hardworking professional with a great eye for quality!”

Comet
“I couldn’t be happier with the purchase of our newest family member, Comet. He is truly a Connemara unicorn, handpicked for us by Cemone in Ireland on her last visit in 11/2025. While purchasing and importing a new horse can be unnerving, Cemone patiently advised us along the way, making it easier than any previous horse purchase we have had over the years. Cemone is a naturally intuitive horseman working with horses in the saddle, on the ground, and as a coach, with a keen ability to match horse and rider. Since arrival, Comet has remained at her farm for training and l am so pleased with his progress over the last few months. RSH’s farm provides a quiet, relaxing atmosphere with a reliable and consistent training program specifically designed for our horse’s needs. I know that after we bring Comet home, I can depend on RSH for any future training, coaching, and guidance. And, thank you to RSH for helping to sell our mare, Beauty. The sales process was seamless, and we are so appreciative of your expert knowledge and sound advice while finding a perfect match for our girl. I know she will be spoiled and loved by her new partner. “
