EQUESTRIAN BUSINESS SUPPORT & CONSULTANCY
Equestrian Business Support with Commercial Experience
Equestrian knowledge. Specialist support. More than 25 years of first-hand experience building, marketing and developing specialist equestrian businesses.
Business, marketing and development support with particular expertise in natural horsemanship, holistic horse care, saddlery and specialist equestrian products - from someone who already understands the industry and the people you're trying to reach.
MORE THAN EQUESTRIAN BUSINESS SUPPORT
Equestrian Business Support Backed by Real Industry Experience
My equestrian business experience goes back more than 25 years and includes developing my own range of saddles and equestrian products, building a successful specialist retail business and reaching customers in international markets.
My particular market was natural horsemanship and holistic horse care, where customers value knowledge, trust, education and products that genuinely reflect the way they want to work with and care for their horses.
I've worked with manufacturers, sold and promoted complementary equestrian brands, developed products and helped other businesses bring new ideas to market. That gave me practical experience across product development, sourcing, retail, e-commerce, marketing, customer relationships and international sales.
Today I combine that experience with modern websites, digital marketing, social media, systems and practical business support to help specialist equestrian businesses develop and grow.

A FRESH PAIR OF EYES
Sometimes You Need More Than Another Pair of Hands
When you're close to a business, it can be difficult to see what's working, what's being overlooked and where the next opportunity might be.
Perhaps you've developed a great product but aren't sure how to position it. Your business may have grown organically and now needs better systems. Your website or marketing might no longer reflect what you offer. Or you may simply have plenty of ideas but not enough time to turn them into action.
I can bring an experienced outside perspective, help you work through the options and, importantly, help with the practical work needed to move things forward.
Advice is useful. Advice combined with someone who can help you actually implement it is often much more valuable.
