THE HORSEAHOLIC
Real horse care,
honest advice and
life at the barn
Hi, I’m Mariam. I’ve loved horses for over 30 years, and Horseaholic is where I share all of it: the horses I’m caring for right now, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and the stuff I wish I’d known before I spent the money.

ABOUT ME
Still just as horse crazy as ever
I’ve rescued and rehabbed horses, bred them, shown them, made some really good decisions and some pretty expensive mistakes. Give me the horse nobody can quite figure out, and I’ll probably go down a rabbit hole trying to understand why.
My faith is part of my life, and it shows up here too. I believe we’re called to be faithful stewards of God’s creation, and that includes the horses He puts in our care.
WORK WITH ME
Talk it through with me
Sometimes you just need another experienced horse person to look at the whole picture with you. I love helping people work through horse questions, sort out conflicting advice and feel confident about what to do next.
People come to me for help with
- Wellness, nutrition and management questions
- Big horse decisions and sorting out conflicting advice
- Finding the right barn, or a fresh start somewhere new
- Farm planning and setting up your own place
- Breeding decisions and rescue or rehab situations
- Equine business, social media and YouTube
I’m not a vet or a trainer. I’ll help you think it through and know the right questions to ask your vet and other professionals.
