A New Name, The Same Heart ❤️
For those of you who have been here from the beginning, you know that ZV LLC has been so much more than a business name. It has represented years of hard work, long days, late nights, incredible horses, wonderful clients, lessons learned, friendships made, and a whole lot of growth along the way.
As our program continues to grow and evolve, it feels like the right time for our name to grow with us.
We are excited to officially announce that ZV LLC is becoming Premier Equine LLC.
We chose the name Premier with intention. Premier represents being first in quality—and that is exactly the standard we want our name to stand for. Our goal is to continue earning the trust of our clients and to be their first choice for their equine needs, through exceptional care, knowledge, experience, and an unwavering commitment to the horses entrusted to us.
While the name is changing, the heart behind what we do is not. The same values, high standards, and dedication that built ZV LLC will continue forward with Premier Equine.
This new chapter also represents a personal change for me. After many years of training horses for the public, I’ll be stepping back from that side of the industry for a season and putting more of my focus into the animal husbandry, breeding, mare management, and care side of the equine industry—a direction that has become a true passion of mine and one I’m incredibly excited to continue growing in.
To every person who has trusted me with a horse, supported our business, recommended us to a friend, cheered us on, or simply followed our journey over the years—thank you. You have been a part of building ZV LLC into what it is today, and I will always be grateful for that.
This isn’t goodbye to ZV LLC. It’s the next chapter of everything we’ve worked so hard to build.
We hope you’ll stick around as we turn the page and welcome Premier Equine LLC. ❤️
First in quality. First in care. Your first choice for equine needs.
With gratitude,
Vanessa Ratliff
Premier Equine LLC
