🎙Being a Head Groom with Margo Thomas 🎙

As groom to U.S. Olympian Laura Kraut, Margo Thomas spends her days taking care of horses competing at the top of Show Jumping.

Join us as we chat about what it takes to be a head groom, her best tricks of the trade, why Confu is one of her favorite horses to care for and just how she keeps him so clean.

"My favorite part of the day is being the first one in the barn. I really like coming in and feeding all the horses first thing when nobody else is there. So, I usually am one of the first people in the barn and just, like to go through and feed them and take a minute and appreciate being in the barn before the whole day explodes."
