T Meet Your
Equestrian Neighbors Jimmy & Danielle Torano
op show jumper Jimmy Torano grew up in Miami and competed at the very first Winter Equestrian Festival in 1979. He became the resident rider and trainer at Palm Beach Polo Club in1984 and lived in Wellington for ten years. Jimmy and his wife Danielle, who is also a leading show jumper, and their kids Natalia and JJ, returned to Wellington in 2007 and bought their farm two years ago. Jimmy acknowledges the part that the equestrian community has played in the transformation of Wellington over the past three decades. He notes,“The equestrian community has brought a lot of money to the village. I think we are appreciated here, especially by the local businesses. We really help Wellington strive and grow.” What dows Jimmy think that non-equestrians in Wellington should know about him and other riders? “They should realize it really is a sport,” he says. “People that I’ve met through my kids’ sports come out to see the Saturday Night Lights events and are in total awe. It’s a hard sport, as horse and rider have to work together on any given day.”

When they are not riding, Jimmy and Danielle enjoy playing cardio tennis at Wellington Tennis Center on Mondays and Tuesdays – the equestrian’s weekend – with fellow equestrians like two-time Olympic gold medalist McLain Ward (USA) and Olympic gold medalist Rodrigo Pessoa of Brazil.
