Today’s episode is a special one for me as I sit down with long-time friend and my former boss, Noelle Floyd. This episode might sound a little different, and that’s because we had the really lovely opportunity to sit down together at Equine Affaire in Massachusetts and record this conversation live in the expo center. And that’s exactly what this episode is - an honest, unscripted conversation. Noelle Floyd is the visionary behind NF+, the ultimate streaming platform for horse lovers....

At this point, we collectively know and acknowledge that nearly everyone who rides horses will experience fear at some point - it's the cost of doing business with 1000lb+ creatures who are strong, fast, and have their own instincts.

In today’s episode, host Caroline Culbertson is joined by clinician and 5* eventer Sinead Halpin to...

Jonathon Millar has spent the past year and a half doing something he never expected he’d have to do – slowly, painstakingly rehabilitating from a traumatic brain injury, from which he nearly died, in a non-riding accident that he can't remember. He spent weeks in a coma, had a portion of his skull removed, and then had brain surgery once again to have it replaced. In total, he had 4 brain surgeries as the result of this accident. He spent months rehabilitating his cognitive skills, and then...

It was also simultaneously the highest and lowest point of his career.
