Testimonials

  • “Swiftwind is great! My daughter has been a member for over 3 years, and she has loved every minute of it! It isn’t designed as a riding club, but this allows kids to learn more about the care that horses need rather than simply getting on a horse and riding. Tanya takes the time to talk about different topics every week. With plenty of time for grooming & feeding the horses. They also offer a drop-in program on Mondays after school. Swiftwind is the perfect place to kindle a love of horses and Tanya makes it fun, educational and safe."

  • "Our son Ezekiel has been having special one on one time with Tanya and her horses. It is amazing to see the way that Tanya approaches equestrian therapy. Ezekiel needs someone who understands him as he has social anxiety due to autism. He absolutely loves going which really says a lot. He often shares information that he has learned and is looking forward to the spring when he can continue his time at Swiftwind Equine Center.

  • “I have been thoroughly impressed with Swiftwind’s dedication to programing. I can't say enough about Tanya and the ability she has with horses as well as people. Tanya teaches and enjoys sharing her extensive knowledge of horses and care. Tanya never raises her voice and her patience is unbelievable. My experience with Tanya has proven to be very positive. I highly recommend Swiftwind Equine Center if you are looking for a fun and positive outcome for you and your child."

  • “Swiftwind has created a working farm setting with a horsemanship program for kids and adults alike. While focusing on safe horse handling and all aspects of horse care, Tanya mixes in general farming knowledge, home care crafts and community based projects to ensure that members experience all aspects of life on a farm. Swiftwind is an extremely well balanced and detailed program drawing expert knowledge from all areas of the horse and farm communities in the area."
