What people are saying.

  • “Tammy's facility is beautiful. Her knowledge of horses and her passion for caring for them is un-matched. She is an amazing trainer ensuring the rider and horse can learn and grow. My daughter began riding this year and has been learning all of the basics riding western on Bud. I grew up show jumping and I have been excited to learn dressage from Tammy."

  • "I brought my 5 year old Rocky to Tammy to help him get sorted out after a bad experience with a previous trainer who literally scared the gait out of him. This resorted to pacing as his anxiety go-to. Tammy has helped immensely to get him back to form. In the meantime, I am learning to support him and becoming a more balanced rider and a better human being to my horse. So grateful."

  • "I am 68 years old and have been riding off and on since I was in grade school. I have ridden bareback, transitioned to hunter jumper, spent many years in the Parelli Natural Horsemanship world, briefly dabbled in dressage and then discovered Tammy. A friend had given a lovely Andalusian mare, Sonata, to me and I decided to find an instructor that could help both of us. Sonata was out of shape and was crooked and I had a mixed bag of experience, confidence and some bad habits. The first thing that one notices about Fagan Farms is that it is immaculate. The arena is beautiful and it is consistently groomed. The horses look fit and happy, as do the various dogs and cats that are part of the family. Tammy clearly thinks about each horse and rider and what will help them, whether that is moving the horse to a different pen, trying new equipment or trying a different exercise. Tammy is a wonderful trainer and instructor. She wants the best from both the rider and the horse, but she is always patient and supportive. Tammy never criticizes when the horse and rider are not progressing, and she celebrates the successes. I am learning movements that I had not been able to accomplish before and it is FUN! Her school horses are also wonderful teachers. My only complaint is that I don’t live closer. Fagan Farms has become my happy place."
