    In an instant, how your life can be turned upside down.

Felicity Burton is a wife, a mother, admired horsewoman and a co-founder of Common Ground Foundation. In 2018, life threw a curveball at Felicity & Karl that no parent dares to dream of. Felicity shares her story on horses, motherhood, and tackling the challenges life throws at you.

  • Will Durkin - Let's not talk about the achievements
    We walk among a generation that are constantly needing to be reassured, validated and complimented. Our next guest couldn't be further from that. In fact, it was a condition of doing this interview that we didn't talk about his success, because as far as he's concerned he's yet to achieve it.
    Will Durkin comes from a humble background, 29 years of age and rapidly becoming one of the most well known names within the Australian horse and Campdrafting industry.
    Two years I have been trying to convince Will to do this interview with me. Will is certainly more at home in the saddle holding the reins as opposed to a microphone.
    However, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes as he reflected back on just some of the people that have been a part of his journey so far.

  • Bruce McNaughton - Setting the standard
    The history and experience Bruce holds within the industry as a whole is incredible. He's humble ways made for a short conversation, but you'll find yourself hanging onto every word.
    Join guest host Scott Keogh as he briefly chats with the one and only Bruce McNaughton.
    Please note, this conversation was recorded in 2021. Some conversation points and remarks may be relevant to that time.

  • Rohan Marks - The topics that are raising eyebrows and frustration levels
    Campdrafting is the fastest growing sport in the Nation. At a time of significant growth and substantial changes, Rohan Marks is elected as the President of the largest Campdraft Affiliation in Australia. Whilst we get a little insight into Rohan as a person, this interview isn't based on his life and we didn't get to talk about all the important people that play a role in it. Host, Caitlyn Hewitt was more interested in chatting with Rohan about some hot topics that are raising eyebrows and frustration levels.
    Caitlyn is not a competitor, she is however a secretary and all 3 of her businesses circulate around the campdrafting industry. Her point of view is a little different but we think you'll find this interview to be insightful, real and to the point.

  • Ben Hall - The journey not the victories
    His buckle collection and trophy cabinet exceeds more than most ever will. However, the focus of this next conversation is more on the person than the victories. Ben Hall comes from a very well known Campdafting Family but Cattle Droving runs thick in his veins too. Some of the greatest that industry has seen.
    I'd heard his name, we'd interviewed his wife and I'd read a lot about him. But, before this interview I'd never actually met Ben.
    I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable Ben was having this conversation with me.
    He sat kicked back in the seat with a beer in his hand, a smirk on his face and cheek in his eye. We laughed, he shared some great advice and there was a glimpse of emotion. He took host Caitlyn Hewitt on a journey she never expected.

  • Stewart Anderson - A warm voice with a strong history
    If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.
    The Dawson river water runs deep in his blood and the dust of the district I have no doubt is in his veins.
    Stewart Anderson was once the warm voice over every PA system in the Theodore Community and has helped shaped the young minds in so many ways. From a Pony Club instructor to a Rural Fire Warden, Stewart has an incredible story to share. Much like Stewart's smirk, our conversation is warm, full of history and pride.

  • Ross Greenwood and 28 thousand horses
    Ross has bought and sold over 28,000 horses throughout his time. His larger than life personality shines through this interview as he re caps his life in the sale ring and on the road. The commitment, the rough roads and old trucks were no obstacle to make sure all horses arrived in time. Ross talks about transporting horses day and night week in and week out, the people along the way and everything in between. Join host Kay Becker as she re lives this incredible history with Ross.

  • Lacey Morrison - Striding down the track
    Lacey Morrisons name is known best to the race callers of our Nation. Recently running her 400th race, Lacey has been flying the female jockey flag for quite some time.
    Leaving School at a young age to pursue a career as a jockey, Lacey reflects back on her years and takes host Kay Becker behind the barriers and the on track.
