In this episode, I’m sharing the story of what it was really like to buy my first horse at 45—equal parts joy, panic, googling, and magic.

From the moment I decided I was ready, to the ups and downs of horse shopping, to signing the papers and realizing, “Oh wow, this is real now,” I’m taking you along for the ride.

If you’re dreaming of buying a horse—or just love hearing about the beautiful chaos of adult horse life—you’ll feel right at home here.

Because some dreams wait patiently… and show up just when you’re ready.

In this very first episode of Ashes to Saddle, I’m sharing how when I was at one of my lowest points, I remembered a dusty old dream - and it led me back to horses after years away.

From the nerves of my first riding lesson in over 30 years, to the joy of finally chasing a childhood dream, this episode is all about letting yourself be new, be brave, and most importantly...have fun.

Whether you’re already riding again or just thinking about it, you’ll hear why it’s never too late—and why a little dust on your boots is a beautiful thing.
