Mandee Flanders
Mandee is a long-time marketing professional and even longer-time horsewoman. At the young age of 20, she was an ambitious entrepreneur looking for ways to get further involved in the horse industry without breaking the bank. Not one to be deterred by lack of funds, Mandee found a way to maximize her skills in online marketing and journalism and launched an online magazine for backyard equestrians called Horse Family in 2009.
Through Horse Family, Mandee started booking speaking engagements and on-camera interviews with some of the top equine professionals in the United States. Her most noteworthy appearances featured guests such as John Lyons, Josh Lyons, Stacy Westfall, and Tommy Garland.
Today, Mandee manages a large Facebook community of horse business owners and focuses on helping other creative entrepreneurs become more profitable doing what they love. She resides in upstate New York with her husband Tim and their horse, cat, and bunny.
