About Hope

Like you, Hope Birsh is an entrepreneur. In 1989 she founded the Maryland Saddlery, located in the beautiful horse country just north of Baltimore, Maryland. Hope’s expertise lies in her ability to help you uncover the real story of why your business is struggling and how to leverage your innate strengths as an independent retailer to make your business a success.

Exactly how can Hope make a difference to you and your business? First, you will have an honest conversation with Hope, where she will help you identify the underlying issues holding you and your business back from success. Together you will craft and execute a plan. Maybe you need help with staff training but have not had the time follow through. Hope can help implement all of the procedures you have wanted to teach, so your sales staff can get on with the business of selling. Are you trapped accounting, buying and receiving? Maybe you are questioning your roll in your business. You were passionate about your product but are now trapped working outside of your abilities. Hope can help you reorganize your business, position it for maximum profit, and help you rediscover why being an independent business owner lit you on fire when you first opened your doors.

Having grown from a one women shop to five stores, and over thirty employees, Hope has had to pivot her own business countless times. She has sat in every seat in her businesses and is fearless about change. Hope has served as President of the American Equestrian Trade Association and is an Advisor to the Maryland Horse Industry Board and the MD Horse Industry Marketing Leadership Group. Hope’s passion for helping of other retailers, artists and small businesses make her the perfect consulting partner for the owner ready for a change.
