Raised in Germany, Tanja's equestrian journey began at age seven with her first riding lesson. She formed a lasting bond with an Oldenburger gelding named "Noblesse Oblige," igniting her enduring passion for horses. Throughout her life, Tanja has been deeply engaged in equine care and behavior. During her teenage years, she attended horse camps each summer, acquiring fundamental equine care skills. By fourteen, she had earned the "German Horseshoe," a prestigious equestrian course in Germany focusing on horse care and management for young riders. At sixteen, Tanja assumed barn duties at her training facility, offsetting her horse's lease costs and gaining valuable insights into horse care, health, and behavior from her trainer and the farm owner.

Leasing a dressage horse at a private boarding facility near Washington, DC, Tanja's expertise didn't go unnoticed. Clients and boarders sought her counsel on equine care, entrusting her with the handling, caretaking, and training of their prized horses. Her responsibilities expanded rapidly, and her professional approach, coupled with extensive knowledge, paved the way for a full-time career in the field. Embracing her lifelong passion, Tanja stepped into the role of being the full-time barn manager.

Tanja has an impressive track record in delivering tailored horse care, showcasing her dedication to achieving excellence in the equine industry.
