What's life like at the end of the line? Today we talk to longe line guru Anthony Leier about how he got started and why he chose to specialize in showing yearlings. Anthony gave us a behind-the-lines talk of what life is really like preparing 35 yearlings for the show pen each year, and why we determined he must possess a special personality trait to stay sane with a barn full of kindergartners! We also touch on what to look for in a yearling prospect, why he doesn't have an issue with burnout in his young horses, and what might be next on his career horizon for Anthony.

Today we sat down with the young, ambitious, and successful amateur, Madison Nirenstein. We talked about goal setting, the reality of being a young adult paying for your horse show hobby, entrepreneurship, and what it was like being a part of the High Point Performance Horses barn. Most people will know Madison from piloting around her multiple World & Congress champion gelding, Hubbout A Dance, but we think you'll find her episode very relatable!

And for anyone interested in connecting with Madison, you can find her on IG and on her website.

This week we had the pleasure of talking with David Dellin, Sr. Director of Judges, Shows, and Education for the American Paint Horse Association. We take a deep dive into the subject of judging, including the stringent process of becoming a carded judge and ways the judging of our horse shows can be tweaked or improved. We also discuss unique platforms offered by APHA for the education of its judges and exhibitors, and other happenings going on at APHA. 

Welcome back to another episode of On The Rail Podcast. Our guest, Kelsey Keathly, sits down with us and we discuss all her involvement she's had within the industry growing up and now running her own business full time.
