Owner. Breeder.Trainer. Competitor.

The academy and the program.
TK Barrel Horses, LLC does business as Central Oregon Riding Academy. Same barn, same horsewoman, two sides.
More than mastering the saddle.
Every interaction with a horse is a chance to grow in patience, leadership, communication and self-awareness.
Horsemanship here is a partnership built on trust, understanding and consistency. The lessons taught in the barn reach far beyond riding. They build character, confidence, responsibility and respect, and they shape riders who are skilled and grounded.
Where growth meets grace.
Built on the road and in the barn.
Tanya hauls her own horses to barrel races across the West, from Redmond and Reno to the Royal Crown in Buckeye, Arizona.
Her experience with horse rehab is why the therapy barn exists: a whole-horse approach to keeping her own string, and yours, feeling and performing their best.
Breaking the Mold
