About Tia

Tia has always loved horses. She met and fell in love with her first horse at the age of two. She had her first riding experience at the grand old age of 3, on a trail horse named Blue in Sun Valley, ID. Since then, Tia has always had horses in her life. Horses and Tia seem to  understand one another. She trained in  hunter/jumpers through high school, and then transitioned into eventing during college at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. 

Tia has always had a passion for helping animals of all sizes. After college she worked  as a small animal veterinary assistant/technician. She soon realized her true passion was to help horses feel their best through alternative therapies. She stumbled upon equine massage when her own horse needed bodywork to recover from an injury. Tia strives  to  help  every  horse  feel  their  very  best  and  brings  a  quiet,  calming  energy  to  each  session.
