I had a great private lesson with Tanya and one of her beloved horses. She's a great instructor and I learned a lot. Just simply watching here when she was with her horses was treat enough. I'll definitely be back!.

My 5 yr old twins and 4 year old started riding lessons 2 months ago and it's been the most amazing experience. Tania goes above and beyond. I was thrilled to find a place that lets such young riders but they have completely exceeded my expectations. I thought they'd lead the kids around for a bit and let them do some grooming but first day they were off lead Learning how to communicate and control the horses. I'm so impressed with Tania and her team and her sweet gentle horses. Even my 4 yr old who was so scared is now so comfortable and loves riding so much. I couldn't be more thankful to find this place! More...

Our four year old started riding with Tania about a month ago and we r very happy! She is passionate about her job and works so well with our little one. She is learning all the vocabulary while riding..both Western and English. Tania is a vendor with Inspire and we are thrilled to work with her this next year. Lucky to have found her. More...

After moving to CA from NC I got lucky when I found Tania! I took a 3 year break from riding and Tania has been super patient and extremely helpful in bringing me back to where I was previously and has been helping fix a few old, bad riding habits. She's super knowledgeable and really knows how to explain to a student why you're supposed to do, or not do, something in the saddle. More...

I couldn't be more thrilled to have my daughter in horse back riding lessons with Tania ! I love how she teaches her everything from brushing and setting the horse up to riding. Tania helps create a relationship and being comfortable around the horse for my child. My daughter can't wait for her Monday lessons. The booking online makes it super easy to schedule a lesson. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I can't not say enough good things about tania and her horses. More...

First of, Tania's a sweet and honest person. Â Her style is gentle. She has great respect for horses and her students. Â My two daughters have learned so much just after one month with Tania. Tania allows them to be independent and learn from tacking to cleaning and everything else about taking care of horses. Her clock starts when you're actually on the horse. Tania knows this is an expensive sport. So she doesn't take advantage of your time and money. It has only been 3 months with Tania and one of my daughter already learning to jump. The best way to find the right and honest trainer is to watch and ask around. More...

Where do i start?! Tania is the best! my daughter has been seeing Tania for about a year now and we couldn't be any happier. She is patient, kind, and understanding but she is also stern when she needs to be. My daughter started with no experience and now she is jumping! Worth every penny! More...

Tania is the best horse trainer I have ever had. I have been with her for over a year and plan to stay for much longer. She has great and very safe horses so safety is not a question and she has a lot of patience for her students. She teaches everything from ground up and challenges the riders in a very skillful manner so that before you know it you are jumping and getting a blast while also getting an amazing workout and mental break. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn how to ride well and at their own pace. More...

I discovered Equiis Elite by accident, one of several trainers who call Sycamore Trails home. Â My daughter is horse crazy, and lessons seemed like the best solution. She has indeed gone from novice to blue ribbon winner in just over a year, but she has accomplished so much more!Tania's ability to match the rider with the right horse has kept my daughter improving not only her riding skills, but her sense of adventure, her self-confidence and her teamwork abilities.Tania has a strong focus on safety, but still manages to encourage her students to push themselves a little farther each day. I can wholeheartedly recommend this trainer, and plan to keep my daughter with her for years to come. More...

Tania is an excellent trainer of both horse and rider. Â Not only does she teach horsemanship, she has you doing everything from day one so you know how to tack up and take care of a horse. Â I had been away from horses for about 30 years and Tania taught me everything until she eventually helped me get my first horse. Â She is extremely patient, but pushes you enough to work to your full potential. She has also trained my daughter to ride horses as well. Â I can highly recommend her for your first trail ride to being competitive in the show ring. More...
