Once sat upon a Saddle Bronc cracking out of the chutes from all over Australia, to flying the Australian Flag at the National Finals Rodeo in America, where he came Third. Adam Newman was born with a condition called Optic Atrophy which causes his eye sight to deteriorate over time. Adam is incredibly humble and quite reserved. You'll get to the part where Adam says he doesn't look at it like a disability because he was born with it and doesn't know any different. It certainly doesn't define who he is or his ability by any means.

This "feel" good chat between Scott and Adam left us wanting to know more and we look forward to chatting with Adam again one day soon, but for now enjoy this snapshot of Adam's Career and Achievements.

Known to her fans and readers as "Al Mabin". A self published Author and photographer.

Photographs that Al has captured in the most raw and real environments of Australia's Agricultural sector are now nestled in homes around the world. These coffee table books are bound by Alice's uncertain times, dedication, instinct and self belief. Their front covers read The Drover, the Driver and The Grower.

An incredibly determined sense of will with a strong desire to discover the unknown, Alice's journey is nothing short of gutsy but amazing. From a near death experience at the age of 15 to herding sheep, Alice's winding road lead her to Australia. A nice job, great income and a sense of security, she chose her hard and left it all behind. Unexpectedly ending up on the Brinkworth cattle drive.

Join host Caitlyn Hewitt as Alice reflects back on such a small but significant part of her life.

From a small town to the big smoke, the mate-ships and mentors. Ben Hunt is now nationally known as a professional football player.

Hearing Ben's story shines light on the strength and resilience it took to overcome one of the biggest challenges he's faced both professionally and personally, recognising the outcome of dusting off the shame and guilt and coming back stronger!

Why Ben Hunt on From the Saddle? We love Ben's story. It's about recognising that rural kids can grow to achieve anything they desire. That you don't have to grow up in the bright lights to make it to the big league.

Nothing but random questions and fun.

Brett Parbery grew up as Campdraft Kid, moved onto Saddle Broncs and then did a complete 180 to Dressage. Brett describes representing Australia at Lexington as his greatest sporting achievement to date, coming away as 9th in the World.

Event though I am not familiar with Equestrian, Brett's story still intrigued me. How he shifted from a hard and fast sport to showmanship and technique and immersed himself into the world of Dressage. Host Scott Keogh dives in to Brett Parbery Story.
