Why Horse Professionals Stay Broke — Colton Woods (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every horse professional has been told there's no money in horses. Colton Woods thinks that belief is exactly what's keeping you broke. Colton spent a decade training hunters, jumpers, and dressage horses in Lexington, Kentucky before pivoting to what he does now: helping established horse professionals build businesses that actually pay them. He and his wife Meredith run Horse Business Builders out of North Texas, and in this episode he walks through his own story, from starting with $3,000 and
The Equestrian Founder #2: Why Barn Owners Aren't Getting Paid - Cheryl Johns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if you worked out your hourly rate and it came to six pence? That's exactly what happened to one barn owner — and it's more common than you think. In this episode, Samantha Baer sits down with Cheryl Johns, founder of LiveryList (the UK's leading livery yard directory) and the Yard Owner Hub, to talk about the business side of the horse world nobody wants to discuss: why barn owners consistently undervalue their time, why cheap yards stay full while high-quality barns struggle to fill stall

We cover the three factors driving abnormal compensatory posture — the hooves, the teeth, and the upper cervical spine — and why fixing only one of them means the horse re
What the World's Best Farriers Know About Keeping Horses Sound - Harry Spinks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it take to keep the world's top horses sound — and what can everyday horse owners learn from it? In this episode, I sit down with Harry Spinks, a UK-based farrier who shoes everything from family ponies to international competition horses and served on the IOC farrier team at the Tokyo Olympics. Harry breaks down why the average hoof visibly grows out of balance in just three and a half weeks, why so many front end lamenesses actually start in the hind end, and what a truly healthy foo
