Tatiana brings over 20 years of experience training and competing at an elite level. She has achieved success across North America and Europe, winning numerous national and international Grand Prix's on a wide range of horses.


Throughout her career, Tatiana has ridden and produced thousands of horses in training and competition, developing teams of horses that achieved consistent success in the ring while delivering value for owners and investors. Her work extends beyond riding to include coaching, horse development, sales, consulting, and leading high-performance training programs.


Tatiana has also built an extensive professional network working alongside some of the most respected athletes and industry leaders in international show jumping.


Passionate about both horses and people, she is driven by a desire to bring out the best in each partnership while helping riders and owners navigate the elite sport.

Background

Tatiana began riding in Edmonton, Alberta at the age of seven. By eight years old she was already working under the guidance of Heather Archer and Cam Smith, where she quickly emerged as a top competitor, dominating both the AHJA pony hunter and jumper divisions for two consecutive seasons.


At age ten, Tatiana relocated to Toronto, Ontario to continue her development under Canada’s leading hunter trainer Wayne McLellan. During this time she became one of the country’s most successful junior riders, campaigning WGM Stables investment horses, catch riding numerous client horses, and competing her own mount with consistent success.


At fifteen, Tatiana was recruited to the United States by respected trainers Bobby Braswell and Christina Schlusemeyer. As a working student at Quiet Hill Farm in Ocala, Florida, she spent over two years immersed in a full professional program—grooming, training, and competing sales horses while gaining invaluable experience and impressive results within the American hunter and equitation system.


In her final junior year, Tatiana was invited to work with renowned international trainer Missy Clark. Under Clark’s mentorship she gained access to top competition horses and achieved outstanding results across hunter, jumper, and equitation divisions, finishing her junior career ranked in the Top Ten of the USEF National Junior Rider Rankings.


At just eighteen, Tatiana transitioned into her professional career in Europe at Stephex Stables in Belgium, one of the world’s leading sport horse and trading operations. There she gained extensive experience both competing internationally and working within the global business of sport horse development and trading.


Following her time at Stephex, Tatiana spent nearly a decade competing, coaching, and trading horses across Canada, the United States, and Europe. During this time she worked alongside and learned from some of the most respected figures in international show jumping, including Jos Lansink, Jan Tops, Ian Millar, and Nick Skelton.


From 2016 to 2021, Tatiana stepped away from full-time competition to pursue formal academic study in Toronto. During this time she completed a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience at Toronto Metropolitan University, while also deeply studying yoga and other movement and wellness practices that support optimal health and improve performance.


Most recently, Tatiana returned to the international sport working on the world stage with Jessica Mendoza as a rider and trainer for Triple M Farms. In this role she gained extensive experience not only competing but also coaching riders internationally at the highest levels of the sport.


Today, Tatiana focuses on the development of competitive sport horses and riders through training, competition, and strategic partnerships, guiding riders and owners through the sport.
