" Tarni is the most patient, persistent, consistent and just all round great explainer of the mystery that is horse. Her insightful instruction is so appreciated."
- Meryn Scott
"Tarni's patience, time, perseverance and her ability to repeat 'leg on' or 'outside' rein' way more than any sane person should and then to reward you with 'Soooper' when everything would FINALLY come together, makes you feel on top of the world. Her inclusiveness of everyone to Team Woodcrest really makes the whole riding and competing experience even more enjoyable."
- Laura Hinde
