Clinician – Emma Ford
Emma barely needs introduction. Head Groom for Olympian Phillip Dutton for over a decade, Emma oversaw his elite horses in 4 Olympics, 4 World Equestrian Games, and 2 Pan American games, in addition to countless horse trials, events and three-day events. During her tenure there, she taught numerous top riders the ways of horse management, care, and devotion to the sport and the horses. Emma grew up in North Devon England and was brought up in the hunt field with her dad as Master of the Foxhounds. Emma was raised surrounded by horses. She grew up in the Pony Club system, receiving her “B” designation before going on to college to get her Baccalaureate in Science at the University of Wales. Moving to the States to pursue horses, she moved from strength to strength and is currently sought after groom, clinician, and educator.
Rochelle, founder of Tack Butter
Rochelle created Tack Butter because she could not find a natural, effective, great smelling/skin safe leather conditioner & cleaner. Being a mom to 4 children riding and competing horses in pony club and eventing, they cleaned a lot of tack. Her daughters were members of The United States Pony Club and she was the District Commissioner of their local pony club. Cleaning tack was something they did daily, so when their choices were limited, they thought, “there has to be something better!” They took leather care very seriously and saved up to buy saddles, boots and bridles, so they wanted to take care of them. Being members of pony club, her girls went through turnout inspections that were very rigorous. Since she was already making home made soaps and hand balms, she thought there has to be a way to make a great leather cleaner that will also condition leather without
making it sticky or tacky.
When Rochelle heard about Lee Lee Jones’ accident, being a mom to daughters who participated in eventing, it really struck her and she wanted to do something to help her. The timing worked out, and she asked Olympic Groom Emma Ford for her help. If anyone knows leather care, it’s Emma. She agreed and they worked together to perfect Tack Butter. After trial and error, Emma helped her perfect the consistency and come up with a formula that worked like no other leather care product on the market.
