About Strong in the Saddle

From the publisher's feed

If you love horses and ranch life, then you found the right podcast. My name is Katrina and I own a ranch with my husband in central Alberta. My passion for horses and the western way of life comes from my childhood growing up on a cattle ranch with my family. I created this podcast to share my life on the ranch and with horses. In each week's episode I try to be open and transparent about horse and ranch life - both the good and the bad. I truly dedicate all of my free time to my horses and our ranch.
