Lacy Gotshall Founder of the Horse Concierge

Lacey is the founder of The Horse Concierge, a platform built to help horse owners easily find and connect with trusted equine professionals. "The idea came from my own experience navigating a 6-year complex care team for my heart horse, JD, who developed navicular disease. Trying to coordinate vets, farriers, bodyworkers, nutritionists, and other specialists across the country showed me how fragmented the industry is for horse owners. That experience ultimately led me to build The Horse Concierge." Today the platform connects horse owners with providers across 49 states in the U.S. and includes features like horse profiles, care logs, trail discovery, and a growing provider directory of almost 4k pro's. Everything is designed around one idea: helping owners build and manage a trusted care team for their horses.
