The decision to add a paid membership to the HorseGrooms Community wasn’t made lightly. As the founder of HorseGrooms, I’ve always believed that our resources for grooms should be accessible to everyone, and I’m deeply committed to making that happen. At the same time, maintaining and growing our platform to serve the grooming community for the long haul requires financial sustainability. HorseGrooms Insiders is our way of creating a win-win: we continue to offer valuable free networking, support, and community resources while building an elevated experience for those ready to invest in their growth.
What You’ll Get as an Insider
Here’s a sneak peek at what the Insiders membership includes:
- Monthly live Q&A webinars with top grooms and equine industry experts. Whether you’re looking for advanced grooming tips, career advice, or solutions to specific challenges, these sessions are your opportunity to learn from the best.
- Exclusive access to recorded trainings and resources on topics ranging from equine wellness to career management.
- Direct access to HorseGrooms Mentors, experienced professionals from around the globe who are available to answer practical grooming questions, provide career advice, help with job-related concerns, and even offer a listening ear for mental health challenges. Whether you’re dealing with a specific horse care issue or navigating your career, the mentors are here to guide you.
- A private space within the HorseGrooms Community to connect with other Insiders, ask questions, and share experiences.
- Discounts and bonuses from our trusted partners, including merchandise from Wellington International and the HorseGrooms Shop.
All of this is available at an affordable price ($97/year or $12.99/month) because we believe investing in yourself shouldn’t break the bank.
Insiders Is An Opportunity For Your Employer To Invest In YOU!
We understand that it can feel challenging to ask for something or start a conversation with your rider, trainer, or employer. But consider this: HorseGrooms Insiders isn’t just about your growth—it’s about elevating the entire team. By having access to trusted resources, expert mentorship, and career development tools, you’ll be better equipped to provide exceptional care to the horses in your charge, ensuring their health and performance are always prioritized.
Frame It As An Investment In The Team’s Success
If you find it difficult to bring this up, try framing it as an investment in the team’s success.

With better education and resources at your fingertips, you’ll be able to handle challenges more effectively and contribute to an even higher standard of care, which benefits everyone—especially the horses.
Starting this conversation might not be easy, but it’s worth it. HorseGrooms Insiders is an opportunity for your employer to invest in you as a vital team member, ensuring the success and well-being of the entire operation. Together, let’s make strides in supporting both horses and humans at the highest level.
