Bridging the Gap: Why Mane & Rein Is the Resource Midwest Equestrians Have Been Waiting For

The Midwest is home to a passionate and thriving equestrian community—riders, barn owners, trainers, event hosts, and horse lovers who keep the heart of equestrianism beating strong. Yet despite this vibrant energy, many of us have faced the same challenges:

• “Where can I find a reputable trainer nearby?”

• “Why is it so hard to find local horse shows or events?”

• “Are there any riding lessons or boarding options that actually fit my needs?”

That’s why we built ManeAndRein.com—a centralized, accessible, and community-driven directory for everything equestrian in the Midwest.

The Problem We’re Solving

For too long, information has been scattered, outdated, or reliant on word-of-mouth. Whether you're new to horses or a lifelong equestrian, it shouldn’t be this difficult to find:

• Trustworthy barns and trainers

• Local events, clinics, and shows

• Youth programs and riding schools

• Specialty services like equine massage, trailering, or saddle fitting

We’re changing that. Mane & Rein is built by horse people, for horse people—and it’s designed to make your life easier, more connected, and more confident in every decision you make.

Rooted in the Midwest, Driven by Passion

We know the unique character of the Midwest equestrian world: community-focused, hard-working, and fiercely loyal to our horses and each other. But while we’ve got grit, we’ve been missing the digital tools and centralized support that other regions often take for granted.

Mane & Rein fills that gap with:

• A growing, searchable directory of equestrian facilities
•  Transparent and accurate listings with contact info, services, and reviews
• Helpful resources for every level of rider
•  A supportive network of barn owners, professionals, and fellow riders

We’re Looking for Sponsors Who Share Our Vision

To make this platform thrive, we’re building strategic partnerships with companies and brands that believe in supporting the equestrian lifestyle—especially those who understand the power of community and authenticity.

When you support Mane & Rein as a sponsor, you’re not just gaining exposure to a deeply loyal niche audience. You’re showing that your brand stands for something bigger: the future of horsemanship, education, and community in the Midwest.
