Does Your Horse Still Want to Do Their Job? | Ep 68

When does your horse stop loving their job — and how do you know when it’s time to listen? This week on the Equestrian Adult Amateur Podcast, Kelly and Alexis are back with one of those conversations that starts in one place and somehow ends up everywhere. 😂 We’re talking about horses, riding, confidence, and the questions adult amateurs eventually have to face: How do you know when you’re asking too much?

When is it time to change the plan? And how much should your horse’s happiness factor into the decisions you make as a rider? We also get a little personal about how much has changed since starting the podcast nearly two years ago — from being uncomfortable on camera and worrying about what everyone else thought to becoming a whole lot more comfortable simply showing up as ourselves. As always, there are plenty of tangents, laughs, horse stories, questionable commentary, and the completely unfiltered conversations you’ve come to expect from us.

In this episode:

• Knowing when your horse may no longer want to do its job

• Listening to what our horses are telling us

• Horse showing, riding goals & adult amateur life

• Confidence and comparison in the equestrian world

• Becoming more comfortable putting yourself out there

• How much we’ve changed after nearly two years of podcasting

• And, naturally, plenty of completely unrelated side conversations

If you’re an adult amateur trying to figure out horses, riding, life, and everything that comes along with it — you’re in the right place. 🎧 Subscribe and join us every week for honest conversations about life in the horse world.
