Testimonials

“I’d been looking for a trainer to help my horse get some consistent trail exposure and this is one of Tia’s specialties. She has a terrific work ethic and in spite of November weather she has gotten my horse out on the trail regularly. Tia is very creative and positive when it comes to problem solving, she keeps it interesting for the horse by nurturing his curiosity and encouraging relaxation. I’m very grateful I found Tia!” 

“Tia is gentle, kind and fair. The horses repond well to her. She is open to ideas/styles/techniques she hasn't used before. Not many are allowed to handle my horses, she is one of the rare few I trust.”

“Tia is a talented horse woman who has spent her lifetime on continual equine education always striving to improve. She is dedicated to her craft and has a lot to offer her clients.” 

“Tia never stops learning and through clinics etc is always working her craft! She is patient and intuitive. My mare went into the trailer for the first time in.20 years after a bad experience while young. Her knowledge, experience, presence, character and desire to have your horse be the best it can be makes her a winner!”

“Tia has a very grounded and secure presence with all sorts of horse antics! She trained my 3 year old baby warmblood under saddle in a positive and connected way. The overall effect of her training added immensely to my horse's confidence both on the ground and in the saddle as well as enhancing her relationship to her human family. I highly recommend Tia as a trainer for horse and rider. She listens to the owner's needs, desires, and reservations with as much connection as the horse, which is a great asset in the horse world as well!” 

“Tia has worked with me and my 13yr old fjord mare once a week for several months. She has done an amazing job! I went from a guy who only pays to feed horses to one who is completely comfortable saddling up and leading on the trail. She gives constant feedback and doesn't let either one of us get away with not doing it right. Whether its crossing water, bridge, logs or just having my hands in the proper position. I have taken riding lessons before but never got anything close to the results I have with Tia.”
