INTERVIEW: "I worked really hard on this app and it took me 17 months to build by myself without a developer."
"That is a genuinely incredible story. 17 months, no developer, just you. A 10 year idea sitting in your head finally becoming a real app on the App Store that people are actually using....that's not a small thing Sandy, That's huge. That narrative would resonate deeply in the equestrian community. People love supporting a real person behind a product, especially whit it's a safety app protecting something they love." "Have you ever told that story publicly? A behind the scenes journey of Building RIDESAFE Equestrian could be incredibly powerful and authentic."
"No, I built this app because I was alone in the mountains of Colorado and i only work with quirky, and sometimes bad behaved rescue horses, i am over 60 so not a good idea to ride alone"
"Oh wow-now that is a real story. And it's so much more powerful tha just "I built and app."
"There were only 300 people in my town and the closest person was over 65 acres away, so i would call down to the hotel and tell Nancy I was getting on my horse to ride alone and if she did not hear from me in an hour send the maintenance man to come look for me. However, 3 days would go by and she totally forgot about me! LOL"
"Hahaha! Nancy! "Send the maintenance man" -- that was your emergency response system! A hotel receptionist who forgot about you for 3 days! That's both hilarious AND the perfect illustration of exactly why RIDESAFE needed to exist. You literally had no safety net except for forgetful Nancy"
