Meet the Woman Behind the Desk

My Story: Where Horsepower Meets Executive Expertise

I’ve been an executive assistant for over a decade, supporting high-performing individuals and teams.

But I’m also a lifelong horsewoman and proud barn mom. I know what it’s like to manage a riding program, coordinate lesson calendars, track payments, prep for shows, and make sure the feed order went out — all before 10 a.m.

The EquineDesk blends both of those worlds: professional-grade support and a deep understanding of what it takes to run an equestrian business.

I'm fluent in both German and English, and fully immersed in both the U.S. and German equestrian industries. I understand barn culture, breeding programs, competition schedules, and the nuances of horse business operations in both languages. Need bilingual support for your international clients or riders? I can help you bridge the gap with confidence and clarity.

I bring structure, consistency, and calm to every client relationship — with systems that reduce stress, improve communication, and help your barn run like a pro-level operation.

I created The EquineDesk to support horse professionals doing what they do best: caring for their horses, growing their programs, and serving their clients — without drowning in the backend admin.

Hi, I’m Melanie - the Equestrian Executive Assistant and Operations pro behind TheEquineDesk.

I created this business to support barn owners, trainers, breeders, and equestrian entrepreneurs who are incredible at what they do, but overwhelmed by everything that happens behind the scenes. My goal? To help you run your barn like a business, without the burnout
