In todays episode Shane was joined by the multitalanted superwoman that is  Jenny Heffernan from Redhills stud. You can find Jenny @jennyspenditall on instagram or Redhills stud livery and training on facebook.

 Jenny spoke about her start with ponies, the changes she has seen in the indsutry over the years,  her shift in mindset coming until to her win at nationals this past year and how she balances life working in IT while running a busy livery yard, family life, coaching and horses. 

I have admired Jenny from a young age, so really enjoyed how she spoke about her continental inspiration for her livery yard and how Redhills started from the ground up as a green field site over 10 years ago. 

Join us next week for more chats with more amazing women from our community. If youd like to join us for a chat, you can get in touch via Instagram @EQUITASEIRE or @theordinaryequestrian

Laura posts really helpful tips and tricks on her page so please check it out, I know myself that it has helped me numerous times in feeling like someone else out there has had these similar feelings too. Laura discusses so many topics on her Instagram page and we only touched the surface in this podcast, we discussed burnout, toxic positivity, how we speak to ourselves confidence  and many many more topics. 

 I always enjoy speaking to Laura, she is a wealth of information and explains things really well, so please do check out her instagram page, she has so many topics covered already and her page just keeps going from strength to strength. Laura also shows her own journey with her confidence with her fabulous loan horse Tonic. He may even be the cutest ginger/chestnut on the gram.
