Hacking Sessions: Facebook's Impact on Equestrian
from The Horse Show Podcast by Pegasus
Facebook is more than a social network. For many equestrians, Facebook is the host of their businesses. If they were to get their account taken down, that means losing all their followers in minutes. Pegasus cofounders Sam Baynes and Jen Tankel and CMO Noah Levy sat down to discuss the dominance of Facebook in the equestrian space. Our conversation was inspired by a previous one we had with the main admin of the Facebook group for Southern New Hampshire’s equestrian community, which is north of seven thousand members. In this episode, we discuss: Why there hasn’t been a tech company (yet) that succeeded in truly fulfilling equestrians’ needs that Facebook already provides. The differences between consumer demand in the equestrian markets of Southern New Hampshire versus England. The reason why regulators in America keep playing catch up with private industry. How equestrian is regulating itself. And more. 🐴 This episode is brought to you by Pegasus. Pegasus is the game-changer horse shows have been waiting for.
