Tista grew up riding the hills of Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California.  A die-hard horse girl from birth, she has spent over twenty years learning about - and from - horses.  Tista’s heart horse Juno came into her life thirteen years ago and together they’ve had many adventures, including a move to Washington where Tista completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Washington. 

Tista draws on her deep relationship with Juno and experience with horses to help others learn how to relate to their horses in a way that fosters connection and joy.
