Tara Benyei

Having grown up on the Farm and riding since the age of 2 ½, Tara is unavoidably steeped in the tools of Aware Riding for which Whimsy Brook is well known. She takes a holistic approach in her teaching, meeting the particular needs of each student. She works to help riders – both in and out of the saddle – connect to themselves and their horse.

After equitation and hunter horse-showing as a kid, Tara built on the foundation given to her by her first teacher – her mother – with continued study in Classical Dressage, Centered Riding, and the TRT method. Tara also runs many of the Farm’s Pony Club Horse Management sessions and coaches the team when they attend mounted Pony Club events off site.

In addition to being a teacher and trainer at Whimsy Brook, Tara has a professional background in graphic design, and does all the Farm’s Social Media posts. She is also a self-taught photographer, avid dancer and student of qi gong. When she’s not in the saddle, teaching, or behind a camera, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters – the next generation of Whimsy Brook. (Source)
