Testimonials
I have been working with TJ for 5 months now with my Hanoverian
Mare. I wish I had found her sooner. My mare was spooking so badly
I could not ride her safely even though I had owned her for 8 years.
Today is a different story; she is calm, relaxed, never spooks & has
come a long way in a short time. She was so on the forehand, very
stiff in the neck and back and now she is schooling 4th level and
some PSG movements with much better self carriage. I can ride her
out in the pasture with other horses; she is safe, sane and very
happy. As for my riding; I have learnt more in 5 months with TJ than
I have in 8 years working with some top dressage trainers. I have a
lot of catching up to do but now feel I have a solid foundation to
build on.

As an older rider with health and fear issues, I was very hesitant to get back in the saddle. But TJ encouraged me to keep going and not give up. She doesn't get upset with my fears and insecurities, and is always supportive of where I am in the moment. She has never been rude or insensitive, which I sincerely appreciate. I've learned a great deal from TJ, and through her have total changed how I view horses and the art of dressage.
I first met TJ when we were looking for a rider for our FEI Grand
Prix stallion. The horse said it all... He LOVED TJ and was
always happy when he saw her. What better testimonial than from the
horse himself? They went on to performed in many exhibitions
together, and made us very proud. That was ten years ago, and TJ
has been riding and training our horses ever since.

Besides being great with horses, TJ is a very kind and dependable
person. I know from experience that she will do whatever she says
she will do. She is an incredible rider and trainer with a natural
ability and connection with horses, but she also has the dedication
to the art and the sport of dressage to continue learning. I
highly recommend her for training of both horses and people. I
suggest her without reservation to anyone who cares about how their
horse is treated, and to anyone who is interesting in learning the
true classical way of riding. If you want your horse soft, supple,
and HAPPY, then TJ is the person you are looking for.
