Focus
Tara’s main goal is to create harmony between horse and rider and maintain relaxation. She strives to have both the horse and rider find the “lightbulb” moment. 

Tara enjoys working with riders and horses of all levels and ages. She also enjoys developing young horses through the levels. 
Tara specializes in horses that are “tricky” in the connection and difficult to get in front of the leg. She also enjoys working with mares and will work with any breed of horse.
