Paige Taylor

Hello there!  First let me introduce you to my lovely family!  Oliver (2016) is my adorable little boy who taught me how to be a mother.  He loves helping mommy in the barn and always helps hold and pet the piglets.  Then there is lovely Jayde (2017).  She is a little ball of fun who adores the animals at the farm.  She was born to be a barn girl!  Our beautiful boy Oscar (2019).  He is so joyful and loves riding the ponies.  Last but not least our little boy Julian (2020), he has a true love for animals and loves getting muddy.  Then there is my amazing husband.  Nathan who is always there to support me in my animal adventures and always offers a helping hand when needed. I would not be who I am today with out my family and I am so greatly blessed to have them.

My love for animals is something that I have had since I was a little kid. I remember buying my first horse with all of my saving at age eleven and from then on I was hooked.  I owned, bred, trained and sold horses for the next 15 years and loved every minute of it. I pressed the pause button on everything horses when I had my four children but am ready to start sharing my knowledge with others once again.  I mentored under the legendary Sue Sisco who taught me everything I know and was a forceful horse woman of her time.  I love teaching and make it fun but educational for all my riders.  I teach english, western and side saddle and love working with problem horses with a patient and understanding hand.  

Animals are such an amazing gift and I will continue to care for them and love them for as long as I am able and am excited to teach you how.
