  • Great podcast for OTTB and horse lovers

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. As an OTTB owner and lover, it’s great to listen to other people who share a similar passion. My current OTTB has been a bit of a slow struggle to restart, so hearing professional trainer’s experiences, knowledge, and insight have been very helpful. I think the podcast and hosts are very relatable and seem so down-to-earth. Thanks for putting this podcast together and sharing your stories with all of us :-)
