Hey Friends! I've just posted this blog post on the NF (public facing) blog. https://noellefloyd.com/blogs/sport/equine-affaire-wrap-up-reflecting-on-an-unforgettable-experience. But I realized this is really meant for all of YOU awesome members that we met at Equine Affaire this past weekend. So I feel it is appropriate to post an excerpt in the Community with some pictures to make sure you saw it!

Comment if you were there, I want to make sure we stay in touch on here!

The Joy of Meeting Our Members

Speaking with our members was the highlight of the event. It reminded me just how challenging it can be to truly connect online. We put so much content out there, hoping to speak to people’s passions, challenges, and dreams—but it's hard to gauge what resonates most.

In person, it all becomes clear. Our members are wonderfully diverse—whether they’re involved in the equestrian world from the saddle or the ground, whether they have big budgets or small, juggle families, have different levels of physical abilities, and so much more. And yet, we all share a deep, soulful connection to horses. That bond is what drives us, lights us up, and allows us to chat for hours about our equestrian experiences. I’ve worked many trade shows before, often in tech, and while those were fulfilling in their own way, nothing compares to spending days with fellow horse lovers.

At Equine Affaire, each conversation felt like a gift. Talking to members left me energized, not exhausted. I found myself wide awake at night, buzzing with ideas to share with the team.
