About Great Expectations

Named in honor of founder, Rachel Wilks’ heart-horse who truly lived up to the name, Great Expectations aims to provide equestrians with travel, horse show, and other equine logistics support and management.

Having worked in the equestrian industry for most of her life, Rachel is an avid competitor and has overseen all aspects of equestrian management from horse care, to grooming, program management, and more.

Competition is just a small part of what makes up any equine program, and it is everything that happens behind the scenes that makes it possible.

Great Expectations allows riders, managers and other equestrians to be able to focus on what is most important to them while leaving the logistics in the hands of an expert.

What people are saying
