Welcome

Training Philosophy
Tara does not train for a specific discipline, instead teaching general horsemanship that is applicable to any style of riding. Using pressure-and-release techniques, she focuses on developing softness in the horses's body, increasing responsiveness to cues, and building confidence in the horse and rider. She believes in giving the horse a job that he can understand.

What is Natural Horsemanship?
Based on respect for and love of horses – and understanding horse nature and psychology – natural horsemanship enables anyone at any level to have fun with horses and achieve amazing results.
