Built to Radiate: Natalie Martin on Modernizing the Horse Industry, One Creative Leap at a Time
In this episode of Built to Radiate, Nicki Slattery sits down with Natalie Martin, co-founder of Equus Manege, the company that created Barncat, an app designed to help horse owners manage their horses’ health, performance, and overall well-being.
Natalie shares her unconventional path from a brief chapter in corporate life to building a career rooted in horses, entrepreneurship, and problem-solving. She opens up about leaving the cubicle behind, navigating the financial realities of self-employment, learning to price her services sustainably, and eventually identifying a technology gap in the equine industry.
This conversation explores the real-life transition from traditional employment to entrepreneurship, including the mindset shifts, pricing lessons, operational challenges, and personal courage that come with building a life and business outside the standard corporate path. Natalie’s story is a reminder that meaningful work often begins with listening to what keeps calling you — and then learning how to make it financially and operationally sustainable.
