Welcome to the world of Tanya Larrigan a lady who has something that money cannot buy.

Picture
 Which is a lifetime of experience with horses of all sizes different breeds, ages and abilities. With an area of speciality for helping horses  who have  problems often created by humans.

For people who wish to learn  or improve not only can Tanya  'walk the walk' so to speak, she can also 'talk the talk' with an easy and natural ability to pass on her knowledge to others in a way that is understandable and logical. The door is open to all whatever their ability, from a confidence issue, to the happy hacker,  a grass roots rider  to the seasoned competitor.

Animal welfare features strongly in her work and her thoughts are that in order to make the world a better place for horses and ponies then make sure that knowledge is passed on.
