The Plaid Horse Adult Amateur Lounge
“I absolutely love this group. It’s so wonderful to have a place to connect to other amateurs who share so many of the same struggles I’m dealing with. There’s so much support and love here, and a lot of excellent advice when needed.” – Jackie Lloyd
“Adult Amateurs Strong! This group has been great to go to to get advice, confidence, share accomplishments & failures, ( who better than to talk to someone that had the same experience and how to deal with it) how to do that, what type of tack you like & why, and the list goes on to riding clothes & safety equipment. The best about this group is that we all cheer each other on! Like having hundreds of best friends that truly care and understand!!!” – Connie Fry
“Every single time I am having a discussion about something horse related, someone asks that question in this group! On every type of horse thing from insurance and horse shopping to over showing to stain removal and tack choices. Sometimes the questions are so on the nose it’s a weird but so useful!” – Lauren Glickman
“TPH Adult Amateurs Lounge is the best online equivalent to hanging out at the barn with your friends.” – Allison Ishihara Fultz
“I haven’t been a part of this group for long and at this point I don’t even have a horse. I have had horses for most of my life and intend to get another next spring. I love that this group is so supportive of one another! And it doesn’t matter what level one is at. Also, even though I don’t plan to show my next horse, I will be looking for advice and recommendations from time to time from this group. Really a great group!!” – Mary Chase
“I think this is probably the most SUPPORTIVE group I’m a part of. I know I can come in and ask for help or commiseration and someone will be going through the same thing and speak up. And I love that we celebrate each others wins, no matter how small.” – Jamie Stine
