About The Equine Matchmaker

Because the right horse changes everything.

At The Equine Matchmaker by Short E, we believe the right horse is more than a good match—it’s a game-changer. Whether you're rehoming a trusted partner or searching for your next prospect, we help place horses where they’ll be understood, appreciated, and set up to thrive.

Founded by Brittany, a lifelong horsewoman known for her honest approach, sharp eye, and deep love for the western lifestyle, The Equine Matchmaker is a premium concierge service built on trust, experience, and connection. We specialize in both well-broke, family-safe partners and western prospects with promise—horses who are ready for their next chapter, whether in the arena, on the trail, or under the guidance of the right rider.

Our process combines thoughtful matchmaking, elevated marketing, and a hands-on approach to buyer and seller support. From initial consult to final placement, we handle the details so you can focus on what matters most: the horse, the home, and the future ahead.

Because a great horse is never just a purchase... it's a partner!
And the right one can change everything. 

How It Works

Honest process. Confident decisions. Better matches.

Define & Align

We begin with a call to learn your goals... whether you're buying or selling. We take time to understand your ideal match, your horse's history, and what a successful next chapter looks like.

Create & Connect

If you're selling, we craft a professional listing, handle buyer screening, and market your horse to the right audience. If you're buying, we present handpicked matches that align with your needs, goals, and riding level.

Match & Move Forward

We coordinate communication, trials, vettings, and transitions... supporting both sides of the match. Every step is thoughtful, intentional, and guided by integrity. Because the right horse changes everything.

Meet Brittany

Founder of The Equine Matchmaker by Short E

Hey there, I’m Brittany—a wife, mom, horse girl for life, and the heart behind The Equine Matchmaker by Short E. Horses have been part of my story for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my life learning how to understand them, train them, and—maybe most importantly—match them with the right people.

I grew up in the show pen, competing in APHA and PtHA all-around events, before shifting gears to Reining in high school. That passion took me all the way to riding on an NCAA equestrian team in college. Since then, I’ve worn many hats in the horse world... trainer, barn instructor, therapeutic riding coach, and most recently, student again as I’ve learned the ropes of sorting and continued developing my own little mare.

Through it all, one thing has remained constant: my love for connecting horses with humans who truly fit. Whether it’s helping someone rehome a trusted partner or guiding a first-time buyer toward the right match, I’ve always had an eye for seeing both the horse and the heart.

With over a decade of experience in sales and marketing, and a lifelong education in horsemanship, I created The Equine Matchmaker by Short E to offer a better way to buy and sell. Honest communication, safe placements, and real support from start to finish. Because horses deserve more than a listing, and people deserve more than a guess.

Because the right horse changes everything.
And I’m here to help you find yours... or send yours on to the next chapter with confidence.

Much love,
Brittany Eckert

"Brittany has been my go-to horse expert over the past several years. Every time I have a question or need help; I go straight to Brittany!  We have done both child and adult riding lessons, and she is so kind and patient working with kids. I really appreciate her professionalism and knowledge because of the inherent risk working with large animals.

You can tell she has been working with horses her whole life and that it is more than a job, but a big part of who she is as a person. She taught my son a lot about caring for and handling horses. When we were out of town for an extended vacation, she boarded our horse and spent time working with him to get him ready for the summer season. When we were ready to rehome him, she did an amazing job finding the perfect match and did everything for us, making the process easy and affordable. I highly recommend working with Brittany."

"Brittany has helped me tremendously with my social media page! I started a non-profit this year with just a dream. Brittany helped me build like, know, and trust on both Facebook and an Instagram page. I work with a wide audience of all ages, and Brittany has helped me connect with all ages. She's helping me convert followers from my social media pages to my website for donations to my non-profit. I truly wouldn't have grown my pages from 0 likes or followers to 100+ in less than a month without her help."
