I began riding with Tammy in March of this year after being away from competition for several years. My goals were to return to showing at recognized dressage shows, improve my riding skills, and to learn some techniques for how to better work with young horses. Tammy’s help has been invaluable for both myself and my horses in achieving these goals.
