When Tawny was younger, she kept her horse, Tamarack, behind her grandparent’s home
on Mackinac Island. But when her father was killed in Afghanistan,
life took a sudden turn and her world began to fall apart.
As she and her mother began to heal and rebuild their lives,
Tawny eventually returned to riding. Since horses and bicycles are the principle
means of transportation on the island, many residents keep horses in corrals behind their homes.
There are several well-maintained stables on the island. Visitors can rent horses there.
