This exceptional mare Tessa has been a valuable teacher, serving as the first young Cowhorse purchase I made. Over the course of seven years, we have navigated numerous milestones, from establishing my business to moving out of my childhood home & much more.
Occasionally, I wish I could revisit our early snaffle bit days, armed with the knowledge and expertise I possess today as a trainer. Throughout the years, she has been my trusted companion, tolerating my experimental approaches and learning processes.
Tessa holds a special place in my heart, and I am deeply grateful I bought that crazy black yearling when I was just 19 years old. My family may have thought I lost my mind at the time but I owe it to this mare for making me who I am today.
