This episode is an honest conversation sparked by one simple prompt — and it quickly became much more than that.
We talk openly about the realities of moving up levels and affording the sport, and what that actually looks like beyond what social media shows. We get into trainer communication, collaboration, and ego — why healthy programs rely on clarity, not control, and how amateurs can advocate for themselves without burning bridges.
We also talk about confidence and negativity, how comparison quietly creeps in, and why proximity to professionals doesn’t define success. There’s an honest look at evolving identity in the show pen — from pleasure to ranch, taking breaks, coming back after kids, and learning when to push forward versus when it’s time to pause.
We touch on style and trends, not as rules to follow, but as tools — and unpack what no one really prepares you for when you start taking horses seriously: the emotional cost, the pressure, and the internal conversations no one sees.
This isn’t an “ask me anything” episode.
It’s a grounded, real conversation for amateurs, trainers, and anyone trying to do this sport with intention.
Because clarity matters — and the horse always comes first.
🎧 Listen with an open mind.
