🎙️ PODCAST DESCRIPTION – Sam & Kinsey (Oakhurst Stud) + Ellie Whittaker (EMW Equine / Breeze-Up Consignor)

In this special episode of Beyond the Silks, we’re joined by three brilliant horse people who live and breathe the industry: Sam and Kinsey of Oakhurst Stud, and Ellie Whittaker — well known for EMW Equine and her fast-growing reputation as a breeze-up consignor.

Recorded on a cold, wet day at Tattersalls Newmarket — tucked into a spare stable between showings — this episode captures the real, unpolished life of working with horses. No studio lights, no perfect setup… just three committed professionals sharing their story in the heart of the sales atmosphere.

Sam brings calm, skilled horsemanship and years of hands-on experience essential to a successful stud. Kinsey provides the organisation, instinct and care that keep the Oakhurst operation steady through foaling, stallion work and the daily pressures of stud life. Ellie adds a dual perspective: her thoughtful rehabilitation work through EMW Equine, combined with her rising presence in the breeze-up world, preparing young horses with patience and purpose.

Together, they speak openly about long days, responsibility, teamwork, setbacks, small victories and the deep pride that comes with seeing horses thrive. It’s an honest, grounded and inspiring conversation that shows the industry exactly as it is — raw, real and full of heart.

A powerful episode with three people who truly love what they do.
