A Career Transition from Childhood Cancer Research to Owning a Historic Tack Shop

post-title

On this episode of Horse Talk, Host, Lauren Abbott, talks with Fara Sudlow, Owner of Saddles N Such, about her major career transition from working in childhood cancer research at St. Jude Research Hospital to owning one of the best known equine tack shops in the region.

Fara grew up with horses and returning to the horse industry as a equine business owner was a transition that she did not think would happen at first. Before moving out of the area she offered to purchase Saddles N Such and to her surprise she left the store to head home and tell her husband that they weren't moving, because she just bought a tack shop.
