Know the difference between a snaffle and a pelham? Understand why a 40°F blanket day is controversial? Want to use that insider knowledge to dominate equestrian e-commerce?
About Us
Family-owned since 1948, Schneiders Saddlery is a trusted leader in equestrian supplies with 75+ years of expertise. We serve passionate horse owners nationwide through www.sstack.com, offering value-priced, quality tack, blankets, boots, and rider apparel.
Now we're hiring a Fully Remote Growth Manager who understands our community.
Why Your Equestrian Background Matters
You know:
- Why horse owners research for weeks before buying a $200 blanket
