So you want to turn your passion into a business...
But where do you even start?
The programs at Equi Evolution are meant to inspire. They are designed to encourage you to follow your dreams and pursue endeavors that bring you joy. For some, that joy is found working in the horse world; and even more specifically, helping others through equine-inspired learning & therapy programs. But entering into this industry can feel confusing and overwhelming. Find guidance, support, and answers to all your questions through our business mentoring opportunities; because we don't believe in gatekeeping or reinventing the wheel.
Meet your Mentor
Sam Thorpe
Sam launched her own Equine-Inspired Learning & Wellness program in early 2019. While she embraced the realization that this work was truly her life's passion; when it came to building her own business she was flying by the seat of her pants. Her BS in Business Management afforded her a foundation of skills that helped her check most of the right boxes, but in such a niche industry there were so many unique considerations.
​
More than 5 years in, and Sam has grown a thriving and impactful practice. Having gone from boarding her single horse at a backyard barn to purchasing a farm with her husband, which she has specifically designed for this work. She now has a full herd of equine partners, a team of incredible support staff & practitioners, and is hitting 6-figures in revenues. Her passion for this work and her belief that these services should be accessible on a much larger scale make her the coach (and cheerleader) you need to grow the business of your dreams. ​
