Custom training programs are developed through close consultation

with the owner and careful observation of the horse.

Starting at age nine, Taya spent five years actively involved in the Poway Pony Club, where she learned to ride dressage, hunters & jumpers, eventing, and the basics of stable management. For three years, Taya trained with Jill McMinn, an eventing competitor who won the Open Preliminary Eventing Championship at the Fall Ram Tap Horse Trials in Fresno. Taya has attended clinics with Olympian Jill Walton (US Equestrian Team 1992) at her private ranch in Los Angeles. At Golden Eagle Farm in 2004, Taya exercised and worked with the rehabilitation and ground training of Thoroughbred racehorses. Taya offers horse and rider training in basic dressage, hunter / jumper, eventing, trail riding, and English and Western pleasure. At 110 pounds, Taya is able to safely start young horses under saddle, and to ride ponies as well as horses of all breeds and sizes. Taking care of four horses at her home for 15 years, she is familiar with the daily demands of horse-keeping.
