LYNN
Tuckwiller
"One of our outstanding students; now she helps teach the
class!" Fred Scott
The daughter of two veterinarians, Lynn has always
been involved with horses. She has bred and raised Thoroughbreds,
Morgans and Crossbreds. She has also owned and driven
Percherons and Belgians. In past years, Lynn rode hunter
and jumpers and was an avid fox hunter. She now especially
enjoys trail riding as well
as being a passionate carriage
driver.
Asked about her experience at the Bundoran Belgians
school, Lynn recalled: "One could not ask for a better
setup for learning carriage driving -- beautiful scenery,
well trained horses, wonderful
vehicles......and.........instructors
who are willing and patient, sincerely caring about
each student. The time in these clinics is all well
spent and the learning opportunities are endless, tailored
to the individual's interest and ability level."

Having driven for over twenty-five years, Lynn does driving
clinics and teaches private lessons as well. She has been
a founding member of three driving clubs, including one in
Montana where she lived for seven years. While in Montana
she owned a horse ranch and a carriage service which served
Billings and the surrounding area. She also worked on several
movies and television programs with her horses.
Collecting carriages and turning out well are Lynn's special
interest. She has quite a collection
of Victorian clothing and equine-related attire. She was
the curator of carriages at Maymont Foundation in Richmond
and has been active in the Carriage Association of America
for many years. Lynn has also done some restoration and likes
to do the hands-on part of driving as well as teaching. Her
daughter also pitches in with the horses when she is home
from college.
 Lynn
Tuckwiller is one of our star students; like Pam
Umberger, she occasionally helps teach at our schools, and
imports Canadien Horses, like this handsome lad, her Canadien
Stallion Doc. He is DuCoteau LaLou Doc, eight
years old in 2003. Lynn says; "He rides, drives and sires
great foals. He is a joy to be around. I used him under saddle
when I was the "Headless Horseman" at Colonial Williamsburg
around flames from open fires, railroad trains and the whole
nine yards. Nothing bothers him." Call her in Lewisburg WV at
304-645-2622, or send her
an e-mail. We know that she will be happy to show Doc
and the rest of them to you.
Lynn has a Master's Degree in counselor education and has
taught at Virginia Commonwealth University and at John Tyler
Community College. She has also been a child and adolescent
psychotherapist and still does part-time counseling at Woodrow
Wilson Rehabilitation Center. She studied equine management
as an undergraduate at Sullins College and rode at Mary Baldwin
College.
