About


Tina is a producer, rider and academic of the horse. 
The family business while growing up was buying ponies people didn't get on/succeed with and moving them on to the right home once we gave them a rounded education and felt they were confident and established about what was asked of them. We also started young horses under saddle. 
Before leaving Ireland as a young rider Tina was short listed multiple times for both Irish Showjumping and Event teams on home produced ponies and horses. Tina has also ridden competitively in dressage, showing and working hunter. Following her move to the UK she also competed Endurance and has become a Working Equitation Instructor and Judge. 
Tina’s keen interest in understanding how the horse works from a cellular level lead her to pursue a BSc and MSc in Equine Science & Management. She then obtained a Post Grad Cert in Education to better support her passion for teaching and later qualified with the Equine Assisted Growth And Learning Association (EAGALA) as an Equine Specialist as she delved into incorporating the profound and therapeutic presence of horses on humans. 
Her business combines her practical experience and her academic qualifications to coach people with their horses at home, run a variety of in-hand & ridden clinics and educational talks/workshops about a wide variety of horse health and training topics. 
Tina feels strongly that empathy for the horse is rooted in understanding its biology, and so her CPD is most often directed toward bodywork, dissections, neuroscience etc to give extra added value to her clients during their sessions. 
The cornerstone of Tina’s teaching is facilitating a calm, safe and effective learning environment for both horses and humans which encourages critical thinking about what’s best for both, and how it can be ethically achieved.



Killusty Falcon - winner of the National Pony Club Championship Combined Training when I was 11 years old with a pony that was deemed unbreakable by the time he was 7 (when we got him). He won these Championships within the first year we had him.


              

Better Odds                                                                   Against The Odds

Short-listed for the Irish Pony Eventing team twice. Once with each of these ponies.


My Goodness - my home-bred and home produced horse, selected for the Irish Young Rider European Team and winner of the National A.I.B Teenagers Classic League AND Final. 

Winning both of these in the same year has never been achieved by anyone else. It has also never been done before or since on a home-bred, home-ridden horse.
