• Horse Show Nemesis

  It's great to be back! Well, if not in the saddle then at least in the studio. Heather is back from hermit mode as she finalizes her divorce and finds a place to live. So thank you for your patience while we went a tad dark over the summer! On this episode of the Adulting with Horses Podcast, we make a plan to unite our horse girl fandom, aka equestrian community, and plot our first solo booth at Equine Affaire Massachusetts this November. Want to trade buttons anyone? We also discuss Heather's horse show nemesis, and the importance of taking a mental or physical break from horses when you need to.
