Tammie Blewett (CHA Level 4) started riding at the age of 13 on a Connemara pony named Leys Laurus in Devon, England.

She has a British Horse Society (BHS) Level 3 from Bicton Agricultural College.

She worked at several stables in England and worked her way up to managing the yard at The Manor, where Tammie trained polo ponies, competition horses, and handled the breeding program.

She moved to Canada in 1997 with her dog, White Sox, to marry her high school sweetheart, David.

Fueled by her passion and commitment to Unicorn Stables, Tammie has purchased the company and is devoted to its success.
