The Retirement Rollercoaster. Ep. 5

Friday, February 13, 2026 • Duration 01:03:53

In this episode of Married with Mares, we share the story behind Leah’s retirement: how we knew it was time, what the decision really felt like, and the emotions that came with closing one chapter and beginning another.

Retirement isn’t just about riding less. It’s about honoring a horse who has given you everything, navigating the identity shift that follows, and redefining partnership when the saddle comes off.

The Unspoken Rules. Ep. 3

Friday, January 23, 2026 • Duration 01:02:14

In this episode of Married with Mares, we’re keeping things light and honest - talking about the unspoken rules of being married to a horse girl.

From early mornings and late nights, to horses always coming first (yes, really), this episode dives into the things no one tells you before you marry into horse life. It’s about compromise, humor, patience, and learning that loving a horse girl (and guy) means loving the lifestyle that comes with them.

No heavy lessons here! Just laughs, recognition, and a little appreciation for the partners who sign up for this life whether they realized it or not.

Blue and Smoke. Ep. 2

Friday, January 16, 2026 • Duration 01:06:19

In this episode of Married with Mares, we’re talking about Blue and Smoke - two horses who shaped us, grounded us, and changed the way we understand love, partnership, and loss.

This episode isn’t so much about outcomes or lessons we learned. It’s about who Smoke and Blue were, their untold backgrounds, what they represented in different seasons of our life, and how loving them prepared us for the reality that grief doesn’t end when the chapter closes.

Blue and Smoke are still part of this marriage. Still part of the barn. Still part of us. We’re choosing to “honor” the boys through this conversation.

Our Origin Story. Ep. 1

Friday, January 9, 2026 • Duration 01:10:20

Welcome to Married with Mares - podcast about horses, marriage, identity, and the beautifully complicated life that exists somewhere between the barn aisle and real life.

In this first episode, Madelyn and Barrett share the story behind the name, the journey that led them here, and a question she gets asked the most: How did this become my life?

This is a candid, reflective introduction to the realities of loving horses, loving people, and learning how to hold space for both. No advice. No how-tos. Just honest conversation about where it started, what changed, and why this podcast exists in the first place.

Because sometimes the most important stories begin with, “So… how did we get here?”
