Mindy Chase, Founder and President
In November 2000, Mindy found a way to combine her background in horse breeding with her experience in marketing and advertising. She founded Horse Husbands Inc., a stallion marketing and advertising agency.

During college, while studying equine reproduction in the Animal Science program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, she worked as a breeding assistant at Varian Arabians in Arroyo Grande, California where Sheila Varian had created a breeding program that produced world champion show horses. Year by year, she etched out a place for herself in Arabian breeding history.

During her junior year, Mindy studied abroad in New Zealand. working at Nevelle R Stud outside of Christchurch, New Zealand, the largest Standardbred breeding farm in New Zealand. Her duties were similar to those at Varian’s, prepping mares and collecting stallions—but at Nevelle R, she was also the night foaler. Foaling out mares each night proved an extremely useful experience, rounding out her knowledge of the breeding cycle.

After graduating from Cal Poly with a degree in Agricultural Business Management—focusing in Marketing, Mindy moved to Colorado and landed a job as the Breeding Manager at Midnight Valley Friesans. This was a small operation compared to the two other farms. There was one Friesan stallion (Franz) and one Fell Pony Stallion (Danny).

Upon moving to Portland, Oregon she immersed herself in the world of internet start-ups, corporate marketing, and graphic design. During which time she founded Chase Consulting and Design, where she designed and developed web sites and marketing collateral for international corporations including Nike, Hewlett Packard, and Sequent. She also managed marketing and advertising projects for small start-ups such as Salu.net and Myhealthbank.com. The high-tech industry allowed her to gain the high quality marketing skills that she felt much of the horse industry needed—and the deep desire to return to horses and spend more time at the barn.
