Welcome to The Positive Equestrian.

Meet the Original Positive Equestrian:
Marina Layton
Hi there, my name is Marina! It’s nice to e-meet you. I’m a passionate equestrian and young entrepreneur in the design & marketing space. I am also the founder of The Positive Equestrian!
I started The Positive Equestrian as a blog in September 2019. It was my “just for fun” space to channel my passion for horses, fashion, and design. At the time, I was struggling mentally and in life, so a lot of my writing was focused on horses, mental health, and mindset; how horses helped me lead a more positive lifestyle.
I made it a goal of mine to start connecting and supporting equestrians by sharing positive equestrian content. My goal quickly turned into a mindset that other people started to recognize and adopt. People loved the concept, and wanted to become positive equestrians as well. Before I knew it there was a global network of Positive Equestrians! Thus this wonderful mindset, community, and my brand, was established!
Mindset
The Positive Equestrian Mindset is a positive growth mindset exhibited by horse-loving individuals who are kind, welcoming, inclusive, respectful, supportive, open-minded, helpful, uplifting, encouraging, forgiving, compassionate, attentive, socially-conscious, and environmentally-conscious individuals.
Level up your mindset and build resilience, both in and out of the saddle, with resources specifically designed for equestrians.
