Have you ever heard cheering in a quiet arena?
One steady voice rising above the silence—not because success is rare, but because there’s always something worth celebrating.
Effort. Try. Heart. Progress. Commitment.
Today, you’ll meet Ramona Wold.
I can honestly say I have never met a woman so unwavering, so devoted, and so confidently proud in her support of the people and passions she loves.
Ramona is the wife of Ken Wold—an NRCHA Professional, Hall of Fame member, and Million Dollar Rider. But together, their legacy reaches far beyond titles and earnings.
This couple embodies the heart of the Western performance horse community—placing deep value on integrity, stewardship of the industry, and investing in the future of the sport.
When faced with adversity, this trainer’s wife turns first to God. And when met with grace, she responds with gratitude—offering wisdom, teaching, and love to those around her.
From Wilton, California, Ramona Wold exemplifies what it means to support with strength and humility—defending honor when needed, respecting boundaries always, and promoting a sport and way of life she wholeheartedly believes in.
The Trainer’s Wife is a podcast dedicated to celebrating the wives, and on occasion the husbands, of horse trainer’s in the western equine industry. For 35 years I’ve watched talented, successful, brave, beautiful women pour themselves into their husbands careers.These women not only manage and build his business, they manage and build their own as well, sometimes while trying to train and show horses themselves. Whether they are cheering for him from the stands, the back gate, their computer screen at work, or the kids basketball game, they rarely miss one of his go’s at a show. And when he’s done they have the ultimate task of supporting him with empathy, love and acceptance. They have to find the right words to fit each run, learn how to respond and not react, know when and how to offer constructive criticism or just sit in the quiet and let it be. This podcast is about exploring not only what these women bring to complex relationships, but how they continue to be strong, resilient and independent while not losing themselves or being swallowed by their husbands careers.
