Tania’s fascination with horses began 28 years ago in the magical Brindabella Mountain Ranges, NSW; exposed to stock riding on (cheeky) mountain ponies and stock horses. Tania relocated to South Australia and she fell in love with the “go anywhere do anything” nature of Connemara Ponies. Fortuitous as it was, Tania also “fell” for husband Gregg (at the Riding school) – a competent horseman and trainer. Tania went on to teach horse handling and riding, work at racing stables and train unbroken/young horses, with husband Gregg. Tania has successfully competed horses in Breed & Dressage competitions and is stud book inspector for Connemara Ponies in Australia. Together, Tania and Gregg continue their passion for horses at home and in local competition circles. (Photographer Janelle Irvin)
