  • Love the geek out information

    I have learned through listening to each episode of the podcast, but really enjoy the deep dive geek out episodes. They provide valuable information on the physiology of the horse and methodology of horse keeping. This podcast tries to provide information in a way that is not casting blame or trying to shame anyone. The information is provided in a straightforward manner and the information is based on sound science of the whole horse.

  • Lilly Ludwig

    It was wonderful to hear this interview with Lilly. My favorite part was listening to how honest she is with herself and others. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts! It is comforting to hear that others are walking(or riding) the balance between themselves and their horses as they listen to the horses’ perspectives. Thank you again!

  • Thanks for your latest podcast

    Thanks for your discussion with Noah. I can totally identify with Noah Mother Also had an accident and lost my horse to old age. I am working on getting the connection with my new horse. I realize it’s within myself I need to build confidence and all the knowledge I can acquire will be the answer. Keep up the good work. Sarah

  • Lots of great topics and guests going unheard

    Sound quality issues. Saddens me as I’ve tried to listen numerous times but end up frustrated with not being able to hear speakers consistently. Would love to listen in on these valuable topics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WH155 | Doing hard things + Preparation as love with Tora Troop
Q: What do I need to do today to be with this in a good way?
Alexa describes asking herself how to prepare for Diva's eventual death, how to show up for her mare, and how to continue living after the loss. Both hosts emphasize allowing space for anticipatory grief and making plans before a crisis.
WH155 | Doing hard things + Preparation as love with Tora Troop
Q: How are you doing after two months or so of pause?
Tora says it took several weeks for her nervous system to settle, and she extended her break while recovering from major losses, transitions, and burnout. She has since been rebuilding her work gradually.
WH153 | The opportunity in injury with Josh Nichol
Q: What happened and how did you approach the first days after the injury?
Josh explains a pelvis injury from a horse maneuver, opted not to undergo surgery, and began a regimented healing process emphasizing rest, gradual movement, and careful monitoring with medical teams.
WH151 | Shifting the horse industry one saddle at a time with Katrina Chapman
Q: Can you summarize the core problem you're solving with saddles?
Traditional saddles often have non-adjustable trees and rigid panels that don't accommodate the horse's changing body and movement, leading to discomfort, behavioral issues, and compromised welfare; we need saddles that adapt to the horse and rider and remain affordable across different markets.
WH147 | Bringing creativity to the paddock with Nica Quinn
Q: What does art have to do with it?
It's everything because the act of creation is what makes us human.
