Career
Leviste represented the Philippines in international competitions, such as the FEI World Cup Show, the Southeast Asian Games, the Asian games and the Summer Olympics. Leviste has also been awarded the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Rider of the Year award from 1992 until 2005. In the same year, she competed at the World Cup Showjumping Finals, held at Goteborg, Sweden.
During this time, she was the first equestrian to represent a country within the Southeast Asian region in the World Cup.
Leviste then went on to represent her country in the 2000 Summer Olympics at Sydney, Australia, though eventually finishing at 61st place and failing to medal, she noted that it was more important for her during that time to take part in the games rather than winning. Leviste competed again in the 2008 summer games and is currently preparing for a final run at the 2012 London Olympics.
In 2010 she was initially named to the Philippines team for the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, but she did not compete because the Philippine Olympic Committee decided not to field an equestrian team in order to avoid the high cost of transporting horses to the games. Leviste opened a 10-hectare in the outskirts of Lipa city, Batangas.
The facility, which Leviste describes as a "horse spa", includes a "European-style" barn and grass paddocks where horses can graze individually or communally.
The facility also has a manor in which athletes can be housed while training in the facility.
