In this episode, we chat with Emily Urban of The Rising Equestrian Pro about online education for equine professionals (professional riders, trainers, instructors, etc.). Emily has taken her expertise as a professional rider/trainer/instructor and turned it into an online course where she "demystifies what it is like to be a riding professional", as well as teaches business skills to help future professionals be successful.

Creating additional revenue streams and diversifying income is something that many equine professionals are interested in doing these days and Emily has done a fabulous job of it! Come follow along as she shares her journey and what it is like teaching both in person and online as an equine professional!

In this episode, we learn all about what it is like to start and run an equine nonprofit from Erin Chimberoff. Erin started Hand, Hoof, & Heart in 2013 as a therapeutic riding facility. Since then, she has allowed it to organically grow into an organization that not only provides a therapeutic lesson program, but also therapeutic recreation opportunities by providing a place where members of the community can work on their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing through the interaction with horses. Erin describes it as "a place for people to become the best version of themselves". Don't we all need a little of that?
