n this episode of OTTB on Tap, we sit down with Ashley Steele Norris, founder of Sunbriar Equestrian, to explore her inspiring journey in the OTTB world. Ashley shares how her childhood surrounded by horses, her time working under legendary eventer Jane Sleeper, and her passion for Thoroughbreds shaped her career. From training sensitive OTTBs to competing at the upper levels of eventing, Ashley brings valuable insights for anyone involved with Thoroughbreds.

We spotlight two remarkable horses: Best Things InLife, a versatile OTTB who transitioned from the racetrack to eventing success, and Kicken Kris, a million-dollar earner turned resilient retraining project. Ashley discusses their unique journeys, the challenges they overcame, and the lessons they’ve taught her about adaptability, patience, and the heart of a Thoroughbred.

This episode is packed with stories of resilience, transformation, and Ashley’s commitment to showcasing the potential of Thoroughbreds in second careers. Don’t miss her tips on creating strong horse-rider partnerships and her vision for the future of Sunbriar Equestrian.
