Liv Gude, founder of PEG, is a former groom who started the organization as an interactive community for grooms and other horse industry professionals to join together in support of each other.
The weekly “Best Grooming Tip” contest will continue, and PEG is also working on a plan to help grooms gain health insurance and to find solutions for employers who wish to offer insurance packages to their employees.
