Hello! I’m Emily Goldsborough.

I grew up around horses and consider myself a lifelong “horse girl”, though my perspective has developed over the years from what horses can do for me, to what I can do for them. Over the last decade, I’ve committed myself to learning, practicing and honing my equine skill sets as much as I can. I “cut my teeth” working with the horses who always seem to be the most in need - rescues. From trimming horses who were once barely able to hold their feet up to training horses to accepting human touch and care, I experience profound fulfillment in problem solving and collaborating with owners and professionals alike to benefit the horses in our care. I also have a passion for growing my knowledge and collaborating with others. Partnering with owners and professionals who have the same sense of curiosity and keep an open mind is incredibly motivating for me.

There’s always a horse who started it all, right? For me that’s my Paint mare, Missy. We’ve been together for nearing a decade and she made me rethink how I approach training and hooves alike. She was in steel shoes and rife with behavioral problems like biting and kicking when we met in 2014, but our relationship completely transformed once she began to have a voice and when we began the ongoing journey to get her more comfortable in her body. 

Thanks to my husband’s career in the Marine Corps, I’ve trimmed across the United States in climates ranging from the Arizona desert to the humid coast of Virginia, providing me experience with the hooves each environment shapes and the pathologies that can arise from each. I’ve worked with horses who’ve never been touched by a human to horses who have been to the Olympics, and their language is the same if you just take the time to listen. The different locations, breeds, and disciplines I work with help me to become a better equine professional every day, and I am proud to be able to offer my clients that expertise.

In partnership with practical experience, continuing education is something that is incredibly important to me. Research is being conducted and connections made, and I am continually evaluating information to understand what can serve my clients and their horses best. It is vitally important to me to invest in conferences, speaker events, clinics, mentorships and more in order to improve the work I do for your horse and you. 

Lastly, apart from studying and working with horses, I do try to maintain a semblance of work-life balance! I have a passion for western fashion, love to dance country swing with my husband, snowboard, play an occasional game of hockey and feed my dogs table scraps when no one is looking.

Thanks for your interest in reading and I look forward to working together!
