This week's episode features an interview with Emily by Niamh, digging deep into the background of how she acquired her upper-level horse, back in the 1990s. Buying horses of any kind 30 years ago looked a lot different from the luxury of online shopping today. Listen in to hear about how she factored budget, availability, conformation, gut feeling, and athleticism (and a little bit of luck) into her decision making which ultimately took her to the advanced level of eventing. This episode is a 2 part series that we will revisit later in the podcast -- in the second part, we'll dive into how Emily trained and prepared an OTTB to stay fit, sound, and sane during the long format days of eventing and the challenges she faced a long the way to some of her highest accolades.

This episode is a walk-through of a buyer's guide we created to help navigate the process and information when you're searching for an OTTB. The PDF will be available for download at https://www.ottbontap.com/ep-3-ottb-on-tap-buyers-guide/

In this episode, you meet the hosts of OTTB on Tap, Emily Kocubinski, and Niamh O'Connell -- two lifelong horse girls who connected over their passion for OTTBs. We tell you about how we met and our individual backstories.
