sassy_appys/ – February 9th @ noon EST Meaghan grew up in Massachusetts. The culture of horsemanship modelled for her was science and health- veterinarians, saddle fitters, massage therapists, chiropractors, farriers, and taking care of the horse from the ground up. She interned with a sports medicine veterinary clinic and worked at SmartPak Equine’s only retail location. Meaghan went out west to Colorado State University for Equine Sciences in 2009 and got a crash course in Western culture, learning from the wisdom of real cowboys and how a well-fitting saddle was crucial in keeping a horse and rider both safe and healthy. Competitive Trail Rides (NATRC organization) have been a welcome home. Meaghan qualified for ApHC World Championships the last few years and hopes to go this year. Her organization with Appaloosas is classified as an educational nonprofit (501c3), founded in memory of Clyde Al Maxey.

silversnaffles/ – January 12 @ 1 pm EST Hannah (silversnaffles) is an English polo groom and equine manager based in Fredrikstad, Norway. After graduating with a Film Studies degree from the University of Warwick, she took on a social media internship at The Norwegian Polo Club which soon evolved into her becoming their groom and equine manager! With four horses and ponies of her own, she has always been a weird horse girl who is unapologetically obsessed with horses and how to improve their well-being. - Kate Kudelko – https://www.instagram.com/
painted__dressage/ – February 14th @ 4 pm EST Kate is a young professional based in Brooksville, Florida, specializing in training ponies, small horses, and rescues in dressage. Most of her client’s horses are paints and stock crosses so she has run into her fair share of complications fitting horses who have very wide shoulders in comparison to the size of their body. - #askJochen Livestream Lecture – February 15 @ 5 pm EST to be broadcasted on YouTube and Facebook.
