“Today, I would never go to a show without getting a coaching session from Tonya beforehand. I am jumping my 2 horses in competitions, and loving the experience. Tonya’s teachings help me to enjoy each moment. She has transformed my riding.”

“I wanted to let you know that I’m really enjoying my new horse. I had still been having some fear issues but remembered what you said and it really helped. About a week ago, it was like there was a light switch in my brain that flipped from fear to fun and I’m just not worried about him anymore. ”
