The Trainer's Wife ~ Jennifer Bishop ~ Episode, 46 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than a year, I’ve asked other trainers’ wives to sit down with me and tell me their stories. This time, it’s my turn. In this very personal episode of The Trainer’s Wife , I’m stepping to the other side of the microphone to talk about my own journey—from the horse-show world and being a trainer’s wife, through divorce, loss, reinvention, and the many unexpected chapters that followed. I talk about what it means when the life you thought you were building ends. About starting over when y
The Trainer's Wife ~ Danielle Lybbert ~ Episode, 45 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello everybody, and welcome back to The Trainer’s Wife. Today I’m sharing my conversation with Danielle Lybbert — horse trainer, competitor, businesswoman, and wife of NRCHA professional and judge Christian Lybbert. Together, Danielle and Christian have combined earnings nearing $200,000 in the NRCHA. They’ve spent the last 15 years building a marriage and a horse-training business in an industry that demands so much to be successful. They ride the horses that come through the gate, divide the

Read excerpt
Today on The Trainer’s Wife , I’m sitting down with Sam Gallentine of Belle Plaine, Minnesota, where she and her husband, Ryan, have built a successful cow horse training business.

But today, we’re talking about Sam—and she is a horsewoman in her own right. Sam didn’t grow up in the horse business. She was simply a kid who
The Trainer's Wife ~ McKenzie Parkinson ~ Episode, 43 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
McKenzie Parkinson has spent most of her life in the horse industry. She grew up in a horse-training family, started her career teaching middle school, and stepped away more than fifteen years ago when she became a mom. Today, she's built an impressive career of her own as the Event and Sponsorship Manager for Kimes Ranch—and she absolutely loves what she does. She's also married to accomplished horseman Shadd Parkinson, a multiple World Champion whose career spans several disciplines with colle
The Trainer's Fiancée ~ Christi Milburn ~ Episode, 42 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Trainer's ~ Fiancée I invited Christi Milburn onto the podcast because she's a trainer's fiancée instead of a trainer's wife. I thought we'd talk about what it's like to stand on the edge of that next chapter. We did... But somewhere along the way, the conversation took a completely different turn. Christi shares a journey that began with a childhood spent horseback, shaping the woman she always hoped to become. Fast forward to becoming a single mom at 19, and life looked very different. Hor
