  • Fave horse podcast!

    I just adore this podcast! I love the light that Scott and Crysta are bringing to the horse community. I think sometimes other podcasters get stuck on the bad of the horse world so I throughly enjoy the conversation staying light while also discussing issues. I wish there were more episodes because these are a staple while I clean stalls! I love having guest speakers especially from all different parts of the industry, not just paints. Keep doing what you’re doing! You are the good that the hors... more

  • A Mandatory Listen

    If you ride, show, or even just pretend you’ve got your life together at the barn, Horse Show Bestie is the podcast you need in your rotation.

  • Loved your ideal horse show Ideas!!

    I really liked your ideas for horse show changes! I personally think a tiara for a trophy would be an amazing high point award, just sayin! But I love the idea of having judges explain a few things they loved most about their winners! Love the idea of offering a or series of “ private master classes” with different trainers as prizes that you can get while at the show! Love me some healthier and closer food options maybe with a TV and couches for non-horsey husband types! For-going 1-10 pr... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Team USA Physical Therapist Dr.Kari Talks Improving Horses By Improving Riders
Q: What is the elevator pitch for equestrians to pursue PT?
If you have trouble riding your horse, for example with corners, lead changes, or staying off the ribcage, a PT can help you achieve smoother, more efficient movement and better performance.
A Team USA Physical Therapist Dr.Kari Talks Improving Horses By Improving Riders
Q: When should a rider consider PT in relation to lessons?
Ideally at the beginning of the training period or after noticing persistent balance or mobility issues, with a recommendation that if needed, a PT screen can guide improvements before injuries develop.
A Team USA Physical Therapist Dr.Kari Talks Improving Horses By Improving Riders
Q: What does a typical physical therapy assessment look like for an equestrian?
A PT will screen the full body from head to pelvis, assess range of motion and symmetry, check hip mobility and core stability, and use a simple screen like squats and single-leg balance to decide if a more detailed screen or a targeted program is needed.
Talking Sales and Social Media with Jenna Seppa
Q: Do you find any shade coming from trainers when you're looking for the client's horses?
No, I haven't had any weird experiences. I've had trainers reach out to me, be like, 'Hey, this is what my client's looking for!'
Talking Sales and Social Media with Jenna Seppa
Q: How do you get to that point with your social media following?
It was on accident, just like everything else that happens in my life.
