David O'Connor On the New USEF Horse Welfare Guidelines

Being a horse person is like this: the more you learn, the more you realize you know nothing... at all.

Welcome to Horse Person, the equestrian podcast hosted and produced by 3x award-winning podcaster Caroline Culbertson. Part education, part human-(horse?) interest, all with the ultimate goal of supporting and encouraging you on your journey to become the best horse person you can be.
