Show Notes
The besties are back and skipping the highlight reel in favor of honest horse show life. In this episode, Scott and Crysta catch up after the holiday break, swap stories from recent shows and clinics, and chat about what they actually want from their horse lives in the year ahead.
We talk goals without the grind, ambition without burnout, and why fun might be the underrated tool you are overlooking.
The conversation also dips into some of the bigger topics buzzing around the industry right now including rule change discussions, walk trot accessibility, and why online conversations can help or completely derail progress.
In this episode, we cover:
- Setting realistic horse show goals that still excite you
- Why community, clinics, and learning from others actually matter
- Balancing competition with genuinely enjoying your horse
- Walk trot classes and accessibility in today’s horse industry
- Partnerships, balance, and asking for what you want in and out of the show pen
Equal parts horse show strategy, industry perspective, and bestie to bestie encouragement. If you have ever felt stuck between pushing harder and enjoying the ride, press play. This episode might be the permission slip you did not know you needed. 💅🐎
