Tami started riding at the age of 4 and joined Pony Club at age 7.  Tami’s passion for horses lead her to ride and compete in many different disciplines while growing up.  If it had to do with horses, Tami wanted to learn all she could.  She spent many hours as a working student riding as many horses as possible and doing daily chores on numerous ranches and farms.  Tami has been successfully training, breeding, and competing horses for over 20 years.  Tami currently rides with Heidi Gaian on a regular basis and has had the opportunity to ride and learn from trainers such as, Gry McFarlane, Andrea Aston, Kelly Maddox, Buck Brannaman, Ricky Quinn, and more. She believes in putting the horse’s health and well-being first and strives to find and develop what the horse excels at and is most happy doing.  Tami is passionate about developing and encouraging the partnership and connection between horse and rider and strives to help them grow together with positive instruction and a soft feel.
