About

Tiana founded T&J Equine Training in 2022 with the help of her partner Joseph and her family. Tiana has officially been working with horses since 2019 and her family thought it was time that she put a name to her work.

Tiana started riding when she about 6 years old and from there she knew she wanted to work with horses as her career. She was introduced to 4-H when she was about 14 years old with the help of a family friend, when her coach passed away, Matt, her dad found another riding coach who taught her more than just riding. With the help of her new coach, Tiana got her first horse when she was 15 and she was able to help train and compete on her horse Liberty. After 5 years of showing on her, it was time to give another girl the chance to excel in their dreams of riding, so she was gifted to someone else in the 4-h program. Tiana has two horses of her own, an OTTB named Tapshot “Gee” and an AQHA Appendix named Bubbles the Ruler “Ruler”.

Tiana started out small in Stanley, WI where she helped a family get their horses back in shape and desensitized for their kids to ride. From there, she moved closer to her family and worked in Chippewa Falls, WI as a horse trainer, and lesson instructor at Holly’s Place Equestrian and Therapeutic Center. Now Tiana teaches riding lessons at her home with Ruler.
