My Story

Meet Julie — Helping Owners Plan with Heart and Confidence

My Mission

Whether you're just starting with your first horse or managing a long-term partnership, caring for animals is a major responsibility. I created Lifetime of Care and STABLE™ to help owners like you with the financial and planning parts — providing simple tools, expert advice, and a plan that feels doable.

How It All Began

Before I help you build your plan, let me share the story that started mine.

When I was 12, I told my dad I wanted a horse. He didn’t say no—he said, “Save half by the time you’re 16, and I’ll match it.”

Challenge accepted. Babysitting. Yard work. Birthday money. Every dollar had a purpose. At 16, I gave him my savings—and we bought my first horse, Lifejacket.

But what I learned went far beyond money. It taught me the importance of a plan—and the pride in following through on something that truly matters.

That’s the core of STABLE™. Helping you develop a plan that safeguards the animals you love, so you can move forward confidently, with peace of mind.

What I Bring to the Table

I combine practical coaching with real-life experience — because I’ve walked this path myself. I’ve worked with:

• Rescue and shelter teams
  
• Families managing unexpected veterinary bills
• People just like you, who love deeply and plan thoughtfully
