I am dedicated to my own journey as a horsewoman. In my early career as a reiner, I was taught balanced riding and how to connect with a horse mentally and physically to enhance its capabilities. This naturally led me to expand into western dressage and working equitation, using the same solid training foundation. I stand out as refreshingly honest with no gimmicks, just a passion for horsemanship! I love sharing these gifts with others and I look forward to the opportunity to serve you in pursuit of your goals and dreams!

Tom Pierson
From November through April, Tom resides at Mardanza Farms. He is a master with the young horse and starts many of them each winter in Mardanza's covered round pen. His young horses have gone on to successful careers on the race track, eventing, dressage, reining, working cow horse, ranch riding and more. Tom has been my predominant teacher for over a decade. He has coached me to many victories in the reining arena, while remaining true to our values of balanced riding and preserving the horse's confidence and trust. We still enjoy working together during the winter season. He is well versed at coaching non-pro reiners and anyone wanting to improve their horsemanship.
