From $500 to 5 STAR: HOW TO MAKE IT in the equestrian world with no connections or financial backing

Want to know how to make it in the horse world with no money, connections or financial backing?

Meet Fylicia Barr, a five-star eventer who bought her horse, Sunny, on Craigslist for $500 and produced that mare into a five-star eventing horse. Listen as we talk through Fylicia's incredible journey from starting as a working student, to an assistant rider, running someone else's barn, to becoming an eventer at the top of her sport AND finally running a competitive eventing program of nearly 30 horses out of Chester County, PA. 

In this episode, we give advice for anyone who is looking to break into the equine industry, the realities of being a working student, insight into how we slowly grew and scaled our own successful equine businesses and MORE!

You can find Fylicia online at https://www.fyliciabarreventing.com as well as on Instagram and Facebook - please reach out to her via her website for syndication opportunities or clinic requests.
