One very knowledgeable gal
When you reach out to Chimacum Tack, you’ll get to speak to one of our fabulous team members. There’s really only a handful of us, as we are a small business! We thought it would be fun to introduce you to the people you might speak to, and give those of you who have been here for a while a little update on what they’ve been up to.
Let’s meet Mindy Pony Princess! 🦄
Life-long HorseDriver Mindy has been behind the scenes at Chimacum Tack since April of 2019. Her role has grown from digital marketer to our lead customer service provider, connecting people to products and helping solve all kinds of problems.
Here’s a little from Mindy on what she’s been up to:
“As many of you know, due to life changes I had to send my ponies onto another home a few years ago. They are living a good life down in Texas, driving all the time and enjoying the warmer weather.
I am living in a tiny mountain town in a house we own on a small corner lot. I enjoy planting gardens, knitting and walking my dogs.
I am happy to continue to work for Chimacum, in customer service, assisting customers every day!
Usually when you call or email us here at Chimacum, you will be talking with me, Mindy. I have 40 years of equine experience and grew up behind Shetland ponies driving in carts and then riding them. When I was old enough I moved onto horses and into several different disciplines, O-Mok-Sees, dressage, trail riding, starting colts. After I had my two babies (who are now 23 and 25 years old!) I went back to driving. For many years I trained my own minis and ponies as well as for others, mini, ponies, donkeys and horses to drive.
One of my passions is learning, so the many questions I get every day keep me on my toes, doing research, and digging into my memory to answer questions.” — Mindy Schroder
