Part Two with Katy Jo Zuidema: The Tea Gets Hotter

You asked for more—and oh boy, did Katy Jo deliver. In this episode, we’re back at her kitchen table for round two with one of the most decorated hunter under saddle and western pleasure trainers in the stock horse world.

We didn’t just chat—we went there. From burnout and growing older (and wiser?), to making the tough calls in and out of the show pen, Katy Jo keeps it unapologetically real. We break down her unique business model, the infamous “Tornado Team,” and yes… things get a little dirttttyy.

We also dish on what’s blasting through her speakers, surviving internet trolls, and of course—the class everyone loves to hate—Western Pleasure.

If you thought part one was juicy, this is the spicier sequel you didn’t know you needed. Buckle up, horse girl, it’s going to be a ride. 🐴✨
