Two of the GaitWay horses, Gretta and Heilo, belong to Brianna, and they have won several first-place ribbons in various competitions.

TENA| Office Manager
Tena joined the GaitWay family in April 2026 and has been a great addition! GaitWay was a client of hers at a previous job and she had always been intrigued by our mission. Growing up, she always wanted to live on a farm, and she fell in love with horses years ago when visiting an equine facility in Alabama. Outside of work, she enjoys playing pickleball, gardening, and cooking. She also has two children that she’s very proud of.
