ShowAssist was founded in the summer of 2019 by a mother and daughter team, Deidre and Malachi. The app is built on the principle that behind every success is a team of dedicated people. Deidre is an Intellectual Property Attorney and a horse show mom and Malachi is a graduate of George Mason University & a Professional Show Jumper. Deidre enjoys helping Malachi when she is competing at shows. The idea of ShowAssist initially came about as they considered how helpful it would be to have temporary assistance at some competitions. After researching, they quickly realized that there was a need for a way to instantly connect owners, trainers, riders, grooms, braiders and other support staff who are planning to be at the same shows. ShowAssist is so much more than a mobile app. It is a lifesaver! Since its conception, ShowAssist has been designed with the people at the center of the sport in mind.
