personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s hard for me to admit now, I stopped riding, I stopped reading and learning about training, liberty work, breeding, healthcare and all of the things that had always fascinated me about horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had been my dream since I can remember to own a horse farm. When I was a girl I would imagine the rustic barn, the little house, the hills where all my horses would roam around grazing on the pastures. Still do actually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted my ranch to be a place where horses could come for help when they were suffering from anxiety and behavioural problems. I wanted this to also be a rescue shelter for horses whose owners could not manage to keep them any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Equestrian Boots &amp; Bridles?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I created this site is to express my passion for horses and reconnect with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also always try and do my best to help horse owners and riders provide the best for their horses and themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I also try and research things and look things up so that you don&#8217;t have to. I hope that I&#8217;ve made your day a little bit easier and saved you a little bit more time by some of the content in here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know you have a million and one things you&nbsp;want to be doing with your time rather than staring at a computer screen like&#8230;well&#8230;riding your horse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to let me do the dirty work so you don&#8217;t have to. Please don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments horse related or otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love connecting with horse fanatics from far and wide and would be happy to hear from you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martina<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:martina@equestrianbootsandbridles.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">martina@equestrianbootsandbridles.com<\/a><br>Founder &amp; Owner of&nbsp;Equestrian Boots and Bridles<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/equestrianbootsandbridles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Equestrian-Boots-And-Bridles-Cover-Photo-copy.png\" alt=\"Equestrian-Boots-And-Bridles-Cover-Photo copy\" class=\"wp-image-6679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equestrianbootsandbridles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Equestrian-Boots-And-Bridles-Cover-Photo-copy.png 450w, https:\/\/equestrianbootsandbridles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Equestrian-Boots-And-Bridles-Cover-Photo-copy-300x67.png 300w, https:\/\/equestrianbootsandbridles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Equestrian-Boots-And-Bridles-Cover-Photo-copy-150x33.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there, I&#8217;m Martina and I started Equestrian Boots &amp; Bridles early in 2016 in order to share my passion of horses with as many people as could stand me!
