#149 The Women Behind the Breeds - Stacie Lynch & Michelle Keaffaber

This week we sat down with two of the people who help keep the draft horse industry rolling behind the scenes. We visited with Stacie Lynch and Michelle Keaffaber to talk about everything that goes into serving their breed associations and the people behind them.From registrations and transfers to annual meetings, youth involvement, and the day-to-day conversations with breeders and exhibitors across the country, these ladies truly are part of the backbone of the breed industry. We also talked about how the associations have evolved over the years, the challenges they face today, and what keeps them passionate about preserving and promoting draft horses for the next generation.If you’ve ever wondered what all happens beyond the show ring, this episode gives a great look at the people helping hold it all together.Thank you to our sponsors of Episode #149!Shipshewana Harness & Supplies Glenwood Snacks Pennwoods Equine Products INC.  The Draft Horse Journal Summit Professional ServicesCalgary Stampede Heavy Horse Show Do you have suggestions for future episodes?
