The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

For many horse business owners, when they think of sales the word pushy or sales comes up. In episode 168 I used the analogy of a used car salesman – it’s that ick factor that makes you feel awkward as soon as you start selling. Yet, as an equestrian business, you need to make sales to stay in business. That’s true whether you offer an equine product or service. That means that as an equestrian entrepreneur, you need to strengthen your sales-building skills. But, is it possible for sales to feel natural, even if you hate it right now? Yes! In this episode, you’ll learn 3 simple ways you can sell more without feeling salesy.

It might not be your favorite, but to build a sustainable equine business, you need to learn how to sell. Without sales, where’s your income? Without income, where’s your profit? And, without profit, where’s your business? The good news is that sales, when done well, doesn’t have to feel salesy. And, most people are better at sales than they realize because they’re good at relationship building. That’s why I’m thrilled to bring back my guest from Episode 41, Piper Klemm from The Plaid Horse, the premier horse show magazine in the hunter/jumper community. In this conversation with Piper, you’ll discover some of the sales-boosting strategies she’s learned over the years from publishing a successful magazine plus buying and selling hunter/jumpers.

How do you get loyal clients and customers for your equine business? How do you build a business that allows you to do what you’re great at, even as you grow? You do it with purpose. And, as you’ll learn from Traci Brooks’ journey to building Balmoral Farm to be the successful equine business it is today, you also do it by taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way. Traci and Carleton Brooks are the husband and wife team behind Balmoral Farm, a premier hunter jumper program. Together, they’ve trained and produced numerous National Champions and Grand Champions in Professional, Junior, Pony and Amateur hunter & jumper divisions at some of the industry’s most prestigious shows such as Devon, The National Horse Show, The Washington International Horse Show, The Pennsylvania National Horse Show, Capital Challenge, USEF Pony Finals and FEI North American Youth Championships. (Fun Fact: Just as this episode was going to publish, Carleton was recognized as the 2024 Horseperson of the Year by the California Professional Horsemen’s Association. That’s just a peek at the recognition he’s received from the industry.) While these are external accolades, what you’ll see if you look online is a client team that loves and appreciates the Brooks and their dedication to putting the horse first. It’s not just something they say, it’s something they live, and you’ll hear that come through as Traci shares. In this candid conversation, you’ll learn how to build a staff team you can trust, keys to building an equine business with purpose, and the advice Traci would give to fellow equestrian entrepreneurs.

How do you achieve sustainable success in your equine business? One of the best ways to do that is to learn from others who have gone before you or are doing what you’d like to do. I’m NOT suggesting you copy or mimic what others are doing. Instead, learn about the strategies and principles that made them successful. How’d they get there? What could you learn about what you do and don’t want to do for your own business? That’s what this case study format is going to help you do. Ariat International is a global brand. They’re one of, if not the, largest equestrian sports brand in the world. But they didn’t start out that way. In this case study, you’ll learn how Ariat started as an equestrian riding boot company, the central themes that have been key to their success, and then how you can apply that to your own equestrian business.

Afraid of spamming your email list? It’s the number one reason I hear horse business owners say they don’t send emails. And, it is smart marketing to be aware of your audience’s needs and not send too many emails. But, it’s not smart marketing to never send an email.

If not, it is never too late. And that’s what you’ll learn to do in this episode! Follow these 3 steps and learn from real-life horse businesses as you build your email list with qualified leads.

You want to grow your horse business, so that means you should be talking to more people in your marketing, right? Yes, but ... talking to more of the “right” people is the key. If you’re here, it’s likely because you know your marketing could be more effective. You’re either not getting leads or subscribers or clients and customers, or you’re getting them but they aren’t the people you love working with or are best-suited to help. Therefore, they don’t stick around—or they do, but it’s not a great experience for either of you. The reality is that you’re not for everyone—and, that's okay. This is why your marketing will be most effective when you make the decision to niche down so you can market to your best-fit audience. In this episode, you’ll discover why niching down is a non-negotiable for your horse business. Plus, you’ll learn 3 benefits of niching down in your equestrian marketing.
