Tanya's
barn lies as a small barn within Riverside. It has a quiet and peaceful
feel, with the advantages of the larger facility at its doorstep. Tanya
provides a custom training program suited to each individual client. A
wide variety of programs range from a lesson once a week on a schoolmaster to
the full training of you and your horse. Her mission of training is to
meet the riders' goals whether or not that entails competition. Tanya
offers dressage training programs individually tailored to best suit the needs
of the horse and rider. All levels of horses and riders who are interested in
learning dressage are welcome. Programs range from individual lessons to full
training. Riders are taught with a combined focus on developing seat and
position, learning horse training skills, and increasing theoretical knowledge
to optimize their ability to most effectively ride and train the horse. The
focus is to help riders achieve their goals whether that includes competing or
not.
