About TEP

MARIE KLÍMOVÁ, B. S.

Horse photography and design always attracted me. After arriving to Texas in 2014, I noticed very soon that good horse photography and professional promotion are a big part of the business. At that time, I started working as a groom for CS Ranch Texas hoping to work my way up to a riding position. I have worked for several horse trainers both in the US and in Europe, until I realized that my strength was somewhere else than training horses…

In the past eight years, I have written multiple articles in both my mother tongue Czech and English for various publications. I took pictures in and out of the show pen, wrote press releases and articles, and worked at horse show press offices.

Since 2016, I have been managing social media for horse trainers and facilities on both continents. What started as a need to promote horses for sale at Mathieu Buton Reining Horses quickly developed into a passion and desire to deepen my skills in this area. Taking the first account I managed from 300 something followers to 1000 in few weeks to over 5000 in the two years I managed it (all organically), I knew this was something I could be good at.

Picking up other clients eventually, I still took it more as a side gig and to help friends out rather than focusing on social media management full-time… My day job during this time was in event planning and organization. Having to work at a boutique event agency and managing events on the highest level for our corporate clients including international companies such as IKEA, Czech branch of Société Générale bank Komerční banka, or Volvo Trucks, I was able to broaden my production and event organizing skills. On my off days I traveled to horse shows to work press offices and take pictures mostly for the NRHA and International Horse Press.

After the pandemic hit in 2020, I realized I wouldn’t be able to travel as much as I had planned, nor could I continue at my daily job planning events as public gatherings were mostly cancelled during the whole year. That was when the idea of my own equine promotion company came in mind and I started focusing on putting things together to introduce Top Equine Promotion to the world.
