Brittany Halstead
President, Equine Massage Therapist and Sales Agent
Brittany Halstead is uniquely suited to operate both the repurposing pipeline for retired polo and race horses and instructional elements of the business. She has experience with many disciplines: Tennessee walking horses, quarter horses, dressage, hunter/jumper, showjumping, polo, western pleasure, thoroughbred racing, therapeutic riding, and an equine veterinarian technician. Fifteen years ago she earned her certification as a PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) Instructor, and nine years ago she became a certified PATH Mentor. She makes the perfect liaison between the worlds of high-performance competitive horses and beloved equine partners. Brittany has repurposed over 20 polo ponies and race horses. It takes a lot of time to find the horse’s new purpose; which makes their mind and body comfortable.
In 2022, Brittany acquired The Animal Rehab Institute (https://animalrehabinstitute.com/) certification in equine massage therapy. Since she has been in contact with many owners and trainer of polo ponies and race horses; she is also a sales agent for polo ponies and race horses who are active in their career.
The REPLAYPOLO ponies and RETRACK race horses have been retired from their career and donated to REPLAYPOLO 501c3 inc. Then are adopted out to live happily ever after with a new purpose in life.
