Meet the Founder
I’m Lacey Gotshall — a lifelong horsewoman, third-generation rider, and the proud caretaker of a small farm in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Horses have been part of my life since before I could walk, and they’ve shaped who I am as a person. Today, my herd includes JD, my heart horse, Aspen, Dominic, Bug, and a few other quirky companions who remind me daily why I built The Horse Concierge.
The idea for The Horse Concierge was born during JD’s battle with navicular disease. When conventional treatments failed, I found myself piecing together a care team — vets, farriers, nutritionists, and alternative providers. It was exhausting, confusing, and at times lonely. But in the middle of that struggle, I realized something important: no horse owner should have to navigate their horse’s care alone.
Professionally, I’ve spent 25 years in outsourcing and procurement — connecting the right people to the right services. I took that same expertise and applied it to the equestrian world, creating a platform where horse owners can:
Find trusted providers curated regionally by horsemen and women who know their communities.
Build connections with others who share the same challenges and experiences.
Access resources that bring clarity to decisions around horse care, training, and ownership.
Trust – Your horse’s care deserves more than guesswork. We highlight trusted providers, feature community feedback, and recognize excellence with badges and ratings that matter.
Clarity – No more endless rabbit holes. The Horse Concierge connects you to the right people, resources, and services when you need them most.
Connection – Because horses bring us together. Whether you’re looking for a provider, a local resource, or support from fellow horse owners, we believe no one should navigate this journey alone.
The Horse Concierge is more than a directory — it’s a growing ecosystem built to support horse owners and providers in meaningful ways. From regional networks and events to expanded features in our mobile app, our mission is the same:
To give horse owners peace of mind and ensure horses everywhere receive the care they deserve.
We’re building something bigger than ourselves — a trusted community where care, safety, and connection always come first.
