From very early in life Tawn was involved in the care and training of her family's 60+ horses.  She began assistant teaching at age 12 and was a full-fledged instructor at 16.  She taught at Willow Hill Farm Camp, AuSable Valley Pony Club and had her own riding program in Dalton, MA. In all, her teaching spans 16 years.

Tawn has competed to the Third Level in dressage and the Preliminary Level in Combined Training.  She has schooled and trained dozens of horses and hundreds of students.

In an effort to bring the best possible instruction to her school, Tawn is a member of  American Riding Instructors Association and she has earned certification in Combined Training from this prestigious organization.

Tawn's teaching style is probably appreciated most by pre-teen and teen-aged riders with some experience.  Tawn's specialty is starting young children in the sport of eventing.

Tawn continues her own training with clinics with Lucinda Greene, Ralph Hill, Carol Bishop, Lellie Ward.  She is an avid fan of Jimmy Wofford and his training style.  Tawn regularly competes in Area III and Area I in recognized events and "A" rated horse shows.
