Tammie worked at several stables in England, and eventually worked her way up to managing the yard at “The Manor” where she trained polo ponies, competition horses and oversaw the breeding program. In 1997 she moved to Canada to be with her husband David, and started working with Unicorn Stables as the barn/facility manager and coach. Since 2011 she has been living her childhood dream as the proud owner of this ever improving, first class facility. Tammie competes her horses in both Canada and the US,and enjoys coaching at events as well. Unicorn Stables is home to a few of Tammie’s past competitive mounts, and they now help to teach the next generation of riders.
