Mary Campbell is the owner and founder of Mare Modern Goods. She started riding at age 8, and horses were an important part of healing for her during a difficult time in adolescence. She left the sport when she went to college—but as many do, returned to it some two decades later. While out shopping, she wondered why there were no fun, colorful brands for horse people like there were for dogs and other beloved animals. With that, an idea was born, and soon Mare Modern Goods was launched and rapidly became a successful business, selling clothing, hats, paper goods, kitchenware, bags and more to equestrians who love a good slogan and fun colors and patterns.

Adoptable Horse of the Month, Kate

Kate is a very sweet mare who came into the Nexus Equine program both emaciated and with untreated EPM. Since she has been in their care, they have put significant weight on her and treated her EPM. Kate is estimated to be between 15-17 years of age. She has been nothing but excellent to work with, despite her rugged history. Kate has had a good foundation put on her and she has great ground manners. This sweet girl can use some more work with desensitizing and building a solid routine, but she will make an excellent horse in no time at all.
