Confessions of a Horse Girl03 nov. 202500:22:45

It might just be the most relatable episode yet... Hannah confesses she might not have been the best friend this week… but can we really blame her? Picture this: the dream weekend ahead. No plans, no people, no problems until that one message drops. A friend needs help, and it’s your lorry that’s required.

The girls spiral into the chaos of horse girl friendships, guilt trips, and the emotional rollercoaster that is wanting to say no but absolutely not being able to. From boundaries to burnout, to why the horse world makes “doing nothing” feel like a crime. This one’s for everyone who’s ever said, “of course I’ll come,” when they really meant, “please, no.”

Funny, honest, and so painfully relatable!

Winter is Coming...27 oct. 202500:42:18

The clocks have changed and so have we... for the worse. This week, the girls brace themselves for the cold, dark, and muddy chaos that is winter horse ownership. From sideways rain and feral horses to budgeting for endless hay and electric fencing battles, they’re holding nothing back. 

There might be tears, there might be tantrums, but there’s also solidarity, because we’re all in this together. Plus, this week’s Normal or Neigh is a drive-thru dilemma that’s got everyone divided: McDonald’s fruit bags… normal behaviour or full delulu horse girl moment?

Unbridled Chats20 oct. 202500:34:28

It’s giving unhinged horse girl Monday energy, this week’s episode is pure, unfiltered chaos. We kick off with a Normal or Neigh that features Care Bear pyjamas (yes, you read that right) and things only spiral from there. From acorns falling from the sky to travelling tantrums, CDJ’s comeback, Olive making a surprise appearance, and the all-important question... Did the girls clip yet?!

It’s funny, it’s feel-good, and it’s everything you need to brighten your Monday morning.

The Power of Walk - with Diana Waters 13 oct. 202501:12:19

This week the girls are joined by Diana Waters, founder of The Power of Walk, BHS and EA qualified coach, and Enlightened Equitation instructor all the way from Australia 🇦🇺

With over 30 years in the saddle, Diana has seen it all  and she’s here to tell us that the real magic doesn’t happen at the gallop. It happens in the walk. The girls dive into her transformative approach to building posture, balance, and connection through slow, intentional work that reshapes not only your horse’s body but your entire partnership.

From swaybacks to ewe necks, cow hocks to cranky mindsets, Diana has found that slowing down can fix what rushing broke.


This double-length episode is full of “wait… what?!” moments, as Hannah and Charlotte test their own patience levels (and sense of humour) talking all things slow work, progress, and what it really means to connect with your horse.

And don’t worry before all the Zen, the girls kick things off with what might just be the best Normal or Neigh yet.

No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service06 oct. 202500:27:42

Holiday season is just around the corner… but not for us, for the horses! This week’s Normal or Neigh from Jane has us asking the ultimate question. Do you whip those shoes off for a break, or leave them on like a badge of honour? The girls dive deep into horsey R&R: Charlotte’s strict eventing season means her horses actually get a proper winter break, while Hannah’s dressage life is 12-month long and Atheby books his own holidays... So how do they manage it? Do holidays help or hinder? And is it even possible to book your horse a spa day without sabotaging your own sanity? As always it’s unfiltered, a little feral, and way too relatable. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe rethink and book in a  “quick holiday” plan for your horse…

The Itch That Never Quits29 sept. 202500:32:32

This week, we’re talking all things clipping aka the horse girl version of salon day, except it happens every 7–10 days, nobody offers you a glass of Prosecco, and you leave with rogue hairs stuck in your bra that itch for a fortnight.

We get into every angle: failed attempts at stopping the hair growth, sweating, drying, mud, tears, tantrums, and the emotional damage of the clock changes. Basically, if you’ve ever cried into a pair of clippers, you are one of us.

And this week’s Normal or Neigh comes from Izzie, who wants to know: would you (or do you) travel your horse with tack on?! We’ve got thoughts, and you know we want yours too.

Karmic Balance22 sept. 202501:01:28

This week, we’re joined by the incredible Faith Banks for a conversation that every equestrian will connect with. Faith’s story isn’t about fairy-tale finishes, red rosettes, or picture-perfect moments. It’s raw, unfiltered, and uncomfortably honest. It’s also a reality that so many horse owners quietly live through.

From unwanted advice to battling outside noise, Faith has learned the power of putting herself and her horse first and her resilience will inspire you to do the same. But don’t worry, it’s not all heavy. Between the laughs, the tears, and a trip down memory lane to those long summer days at the yard, there’s plenty to smile about.

Faith even brings along this week’s Normal or Neigh, making this one an episode you won’t want to miss. This one’s for the horse girls... the real ones.

Shhh... The Horse's Are Sleeping16 sept. 202500:27:41

This week’s episode of Unbridled Conversations is one big brain teaser. Do our horses actually sleep properly, and if they don’t… does it affect how they work for us? Hannah throws down the ultimate question and it leaves both girls spiralling into midnight checks, nap times, and whether or not Willow is secretly sleep deprived.

Meanwhile, Normal or Neigh comes courtesy of Maggie… or Samantha (the debate is real), who writes in about the joy of grooming, not just the quick flick before a ride, but that inner pony-mad-kid satisfaction of spending hours brushing until they shine like glass. The girls weigh in: is this total bliss or a total time-waster?

Tune in, because between snoring horses, nostalgic grooming sessions, and a bit of friendly chaos, this episode is not one to sleep on.

It Was Giving... Toxic08 sept. 202500:28:30

Burghley fever is in the air and the girls are buzzing as they recorded just before the action kicked off. But first, this week’s Normal or Neigh hits hard, with both Hannah and Charlotte completely united for once (shocking, we know). Then it’s straight into the chaos of a recent show jumping outing, and let’s just say… the vibes were not immaculate. From rough riding and overcooked horses to riders shouting at their grooms, the girls are asking: why can’t we all just enjoy our ponies? Competing doesn’t have to be toxic  but WOW, do we have stories.

Unbacked to Unstoppable01 sept. 202500:27:45

This week we’re calling out one of the most relatable equestrian struggles ever… when the non-horsey boyfriend offers to help. Spoiler alert: it’s NOT actually helpful, and you’ll spend more time cleaning up behind him than he spent “helping”. But do we feel bad for being fussy? No. Absolutely not.

Then we dive into a brilliant listener message from Claire, who’s starting her journey with a new youngster and dreaming of eventing. Where do you even begin? What’s too soon? What’s realistic? And how do you build fitness and confidence for both horse and rider?

Relatable chaos and serious horse talk. Exactly how we like it.

Buyer Beware25 août 202500:55:30

This week, we’re diving into a listener-requested topic: “Why is the horse world so corrupt especially when it comes to selling horses?”

Are dealers to blame for everything? Or do owners hold some responsibility too? And what about the horses themselves? The ones being shipped off to new homes, new jobs, and new expectations without a single say in the matter?

As always, the girls unpack it from every angle (and drop more than a few surprises along the way).

Plus, Normal or Neigh takes us back into the chaos of the warm-up arena, where budding Spielberg-level content creators are risking lives for The Shot. Is this really the equestrian influencer rise to stardom we all signed up for? Or are we just here… surviving?

I Wouldn't Lie To My Bestfirend 20 août 202500:31:28

 This week, Charlotte opens up about her season with Willow and how it hasn’t gone to plan. From the sidelines, it’s easy to feel influenced by what other riders are doing, but at the end of the day… do their choices make sense for you and your horse?

It’s an episode all about trusting your gut, filling your confidence pot, and remembering that your horse trusts you implicitly every time you saddle up. Because they’d never lie to you, so don’t lie to them.

And the girls couldn’t be more excited to share their first ever voice note Normal or Neigh from listener Nikki (icon behaviour). 

Oh, and did you notice? We’re dropping this one on a Wednesday! Why you ask? Because Hannah had a catastrophic technical snafu and lost the whole episode over the weekend (yes, really). Dis-as-ter. But don’t say we don’t treat you, midweek podcast joy, coming in hot.

Lost in Translation11 août 202500:36:24

Ever had a riding lesson where you swear you’re doing exactly what your instructor asked… but judging by their face, you’re apparently doing the complete opposite? Yeah, us too. This week, we’re talking about the unwritten instructor glossary,  that mystical language of cues, commands, and cryptic phrases they somehow expect us to just know.

We also get real about the mortifying moments when your horse decides to show you up in that oh-so-important first lesson. You know, the “look at us, we’re amazing” moment that quickly turns into “please pretend you don’t know me.”

And for this week’s Normal or Neigh, we’re going there. Nose bags. Are they old-school charm or just… a no from us?

Stuck in Rehab (Again)04 août 202500:32:08

Mojo, where you at?!
This week, the girls are getting real about that frustrating, flat, not-so-fabulous feeling when your horsey sparkle goes missing. Whether you’re stuck in rehab limbo, recovering from yet another field-based bad decision, or simply burnt out... you’re not alone.

Hannah and Charlotte open up about the emotional toll of keeping horses going when it feels like the world is working against you. From show cancellations to field injuries, and just feeling meh, they unpack what it means to lose motivation and how to find your way back, even if it’s slowly.

Also this week: a spicy Normal or Neigh on trailer & horsebox safety and the first listener shoutouts! Because hearing from you is our favourite part of this whole ride.

Hacked Into The Headlines28 juil. 202500:28:33

This week, the girls are tackling a very real and very raging debate that’s set the equestrian and internet world alight. A seemingly harmless hacking video shared by an online equestrian creator has blown up after the tabloids picked it up without consent. Cue thousands of disgusting, vile, and downright inhumane comments.

The classic “get off the road” brigade has come out in full force, but this goes way beyond that. What happened to compassion? What happened to safety? What happened to basic decency?

The girls break it down from all angles... riders, drivers, pedestrians, keyboard warriors. No side goes unexamined, but one thing is clear: kindness costs nothing. But reckless behaviour? That could cost a life.

Also, this week’s Normal or Neigh gets spicyyyy  we’re talking to hog or not to hog. Do the girls love it, hate it, or think it’s a red flag? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Foam, Flock & Financial Ruin21 juil. 202500:32:31

This week we dive ass first into one of the most confusing, controversial, and EXPENSIVE topics in the equestrian world: Saddles.

Why does every fitter have a different opinion? Why are we paying organ-donor prices for something that still leaves our horses sore? And how do we, as horse owners, ever really know what’s "best"?

From trees (wood, plastic, no tree at all?) to blocks (moveable, fixed, giant, non-existent?) to flocking that sounds more like science fiction than saddle tech, the girls are spiralling.

And yes, we’re putting out an open call to any SMS-qualified saddle fitter or Rep brave enough to come on the pod and explain themselves… 👀

PLUS: this week’s Normal or Neigh might seem like an EquiPacs plug... and okay, maybe it is... but also it’s a totally un-staged moment of genius and practicality. Just sayin'!

Left to Left 14 juil. 202500:43:26

This week, we’re diving head-first into the absolute circus that is... the warm-up ring.
From left-to-left confusion, mystery tail ribbons, instructors playing God over the entire arena, to the girl FaceTiming her nan mid-canter... nothing is off-limits.

Charlotte and Hannah are calling it as they see it: unfiltered, chaotic, and so painfully relatable.


Plus, this week’s Normal or Neigh splits the yard: do you demand bed perfection like you’re mucking out Buckingham Palace, or are you more of a “eh, it’ll do” kinda rider?

Get ready for an episode full of truth bombs, belly laughs, and a whole lot of sass.

Hot Girl Hacking07 juil. 202500:27:42

Welcome to the sweatiest, dustiest, flyiest episode yet. The girls are DEEP in the summer struggle and they are NOT coping quietly. Between no grass, zero rain, cracked hooves, snotty noses, and hay that costs more than rent... it’s not exactly giving equestrian chic.

But July is for Hot Girl Hacking, and this week the girls took saddle club chaos to new levels on an “off-piste” adventure. Oh, and Forestry UK? We’ve got questions. What's with the disappearing permits and parking?! Have you been affected? Slide into our DMs. We’re angry. Respectfully (of course...).

PLUS: Our very first celebrity “Normal or Neigh” (sorry not sorry) and it’s the kind of thing that makes you want to boil your tack.

It’s unfiltered, unhinged and undeniably Unbridled, sweat it out with us on this one!

Episode Number 2630 juin 202500:33:22

We made it to Episode 26...  six whole months of Unbridled Conversations! 

This week, it’s time to reflect, celebrate, and get a little nostalgic. Hannah and Charlotte look back on the chaos, the cackles, and the conversations that have had the biggest impact since hitting record 6 months ago. From Normal or Neighs that left us wheezing, to listener messages that made us teary (or furious, let’s be honest) it’s all here.

The girls reminisce on their favourite moments, reflect on what this podcast means to them, and how far it's travelled, literally and emotionally. It’s part love letter, part blooper reel, and as always fully unfiltered. 

Thank you for being part of the ride, saddle up and let’s celebrate!

Yard Politics23 juin 202500:25:08

This week on Unbridled Conversations it’s all about the place we love to hate and hate to love: THE YARD.
From decade-spanning friendships to cold shoulders and petty politics, we’re diving deep into the judgement, camaraderie, and vibes that make or break your stable life.

The girls unpack everything from:
– The infamous “I’m only sweeping my bit” passive aggression
– That one person who definitely isn’t picking up their horse’s poop in the arena
– The pressure (or peace!) of keeping your horses at home
– And the not-so-fun side: adult bullying in the yard. Yes. It’s a thing. And it needs to stop.

This week’s Normal or Neigh is heartbreakingly real and hits a nerve.
Tune in, speak up, and remember: no one’s immune to yard drama, but everyone deserves kindness.

Trainer Roulette 16 juin 202500:48:14

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re talking about the unspoken chaos of trainers. Who we love, who we leave, and who we low-key regret booking after one  lesson.

But first, this week’s Normal or Neigh has us all in agreement (for once) on the sacred equestrian rule: never, EVER take more trips than necessary. If it can be carried in one go — buckets, bales, haynets, snacks, regrets — it WILL be. Horse girl grit, baby.

Then the girls dive headfirst into the game of Trainer Roulette.

  • Are you a one-instructor-for-life kind of rider?
  • Or do you treat every clinic like a speed date with a new coach?
  • Do you expect compassion for your horse, or do you need tough love to get it done?

Oh, and let’s not forget the celebs-turned-coaches who can ride like gods but teach like... well, they don't. Just because you’ve got medals, doesn’t mean you can mentor…

Tune in as Charlotte and Hannah unravel the red flags, green lights, and what really matters when it comes to who’s shouting at you from "X". 

Saddle up, this one might hit a little too close to home.

I Was Today Years Old09 juin 202500:20:14

This week’s Unbridled Conversations takes a hilarious (and slightly humbling) turn as the girls dive into the things they definitely should’ve known by now... but didn’t. Kicking off with a Normal or Neigh throwback to “Just Popping in for Fly Spray,” Hannah rocks up to the tack shop in full-on civilian clothing — and Charlotte (with a little backup from George) is not okay about it.

Then it’s confession time.

From windy weather to anatomy, the girls spill their “I was today years old when I learned…” moments, proving that even with 30+ years of experience, there’s always more to learn (and laugh at).

Have you had one of these moments recently? Something mind-blowingly obvious you just discovered? Slide into our DMs or send us a voice note — we want to hear it!

If the Yard Walls Could Talk…02 juin 202500:45:32

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re pulling back the stable curtain.

Both Hannah and Charlotte have spent years behind the scenes in top-level sport yards—from eventing to show jumping. But here’s the thing: it’s not all flying changes and glossy Instagram Reels.

In this raw, honest episode, the girls share what it really looks like working in the equestrian industry. From the tough lessons to the silences they kept as young women trying to find their footing, to the unfiltered truth about how horses—and humans—can get lost in the pursuit of performance.

It’s not all doom and gloom; there’s laughter, sass, and the odd story about rogue bosses and boot straps clearly on backwards in this week’s Normal or Neigh. 

But the real message? Speak up. Be the advocate your horse, your teammates, and your younger self needed. If you’ve worked in the industry or are thinking of stepping into it—this is one you don’t want to miss.

Just Popping in for Fly Spray 26 mai 202500:21:13

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re heading to the place where dreams, drama, and deeply questionable spending decisions live... the tack shop. 

But first up on Normal or Neigh?, the girls debate whether it’s ever okay to be on your phone in the warm-up ring - Hannah’s never seen it (and is baffled), while Charlotte's had front row seats to full texting-while-jumping chaos. We need to know: what would you do?

Then… welcome to a whole new layer of their friendship: tack shopping together for the first time! From Hannah playing it cool over a new competition hat to the universal experience of knowing exactly what you came in for — and leaving with a saddle pad, pink stud plugs, and ANOTHER gillet — this one’s for every rider who’s “just popping in for fly spray.”

And can we talk about tack shop staff?! If you know, you know

A Girl, Her Horse & A Discount Code 19 mai 202500:32:34

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re getting real about the world of equestrian influencers — the good, the glossy, and the downright awkward

OF COURSE we all dream of getting the latest gear and fancy feeds for free (who wouldn’t?!), but Hannah and Charlotte unpack the reality behind the ring lights — from the consumer's POV, to the small business owner's inbox full of “Hey bestie, can I get this for free in exchange for a post?” 

Hannah opens up about how tough it can be as a brand owner constantly navigating requests that blur the line between community and entitlement — while Charlotte comes in with the no-nonsense takes we all need to hear.

But first, Normal or Neigh? kicks things off with a bang — Charlotte drops Hannah right in it as they debate if it’s okay to be late to your horse in the morning because… you were out on the town, it’s your day off, or maybe you just feel a bit crook. Let’s just say Hannah’s got some explaining to do.

This week is all about the laughs, honesty, and the kind of chat you’d usually only hear on a hack.

Trust Takes Time12 mai 202500:37:09

This week on Unbridled Conversations, the girls are talking about something at the heart of every horse journey — building a real, trusting relationship with your horse. 

But first… Normal or Neigh? takes a surprisingly spicy turn over a very specific yard sweeping scenario. Let’s just say Hannah and Charlotte do not see eye to eye on this one. If you know, you know.

Then it’s time for a little Wednesday hack recap (yes, the girls always hack on a Wednesday — no, they don’t wear pink, much to Hannah’s dismay). A recent off-road adventure had Hannah admiring the incredible bond between Charlotte and Willow, while reflecting on her own evolving connection with Atheby — a relationship still in its early, sometimes bumpy, but beautiful stages.

The girls open up about the patience, time, and love it takes to truly connect with a horse — reminding us all that the bond always comes first. The ribbons and rosettes can wait.

Winning At All Cost05 mai 202500:31:45

This week on Unbridled Conversations, things get a little... competitive. 

We kick things off with a Normal or Neigh? that had us full-body cringing: knotty headcollars, dually chains, and the surprisingly controversial topic of tying your horse up. Why isn’t this talked about more?! The girls have thoughts.

Then, it’s celebration time as Hannah and Atheby make their show season debut — whoop whoop! But there’s a twist... Let’s just say the result in her class sparked a spicy conversation around pot hunting — those riders who linger at the lower levels, collecting rosettes instead of moving up. Is it fair? Is it frustrating? Or are we missing the bigger picture?

As always, Charlotte and Hannah unpack it from all sides — with empathy, honesty, and a few side-splitting tangents along the way.

🎧 Grab your mucking out kit and come join the chat — we want to know: what do you think about pot hunting?

Tears to Triumph28 avr. 202500:41:12

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re joined by the unapologetically raw and radiant Cerys from Diary of My Dragon , and in true unbridled style, she didn’t just show up with one Normal or Neigh… she brought two!

From there, it’s a wild, honest, and deeply emotional ride. Cerys bares it all – the heartbreak, the healing, the fear, the triumphs – and takes us on her full story from start to (fairytale) finish. No filters. No fluff. Just uncomfortably honest truth that hits you right in the gut (and the heart).

If you’ve ever lost the horse of a lifetime, battled post-mum worries, felt overwhelmed, over-horsed, or just plain over it – this one is for you. You’re not alone, and Cerys’ story is the raw reminder we all need.

This is the Unbridled Conversations episode you do not want to miss.

Back In My Day...21 avr. 202500:32:35

This week on Unbridled Conversations, the girls are galloping straight down memory lane — but not before facing a controversial Normal or Neigh? Would you ever willingly start your ride without stirrups? Let’s just say… Hannah and Charlotte were very much in agreement on this one.

Things quickly take a turn for the nostalgic after Hannah’s hilariously chaotic attempt to enter a recent show turned into a full-blown early-2000s throwback — complete with questionable tech, major confusion, and a bit of gaslighting (yes, she was robbed of her chance to compete and no, she’s not over it).

From snail mail entries, polaroid pictures and cheque book fees , the girls are feelin’ their age and loving the trip back to simpler, pony-club-filled times. 

Tune in, reminisce, and don’t forget to send us your most horse girl nostalgic moments — the good, the cringey, and everything in between!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow14 avr. 202500:53:34

In this deeply moving episode of Unbridled Conversations, Hannah opens up and shares the emotional story of her beloved Shetland pony, Demi, who is sadly very unwell. As horse lovers, we all dread the day we might face the unimaginable — the heartbreaking question of quality of life and when, or if, it’s time to say goodbye.

The girls don’t shy away from the elephant in the room. With raw honesty, shared memories, and a few tissues, they explore one of the most challenging conversations in the equestrian world — one that every horse owner may one day have to face, but never should feel alone in.

As always, things start on a lighter note with a Normal or Neigh that’s guaranteed to get you giggling and might just add a surprising new question to your livery yard checklist!

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the love, or the solidarity, this episode is one from the heart. 💛

Needy or Necessary? 07 avr. 202500:25:36

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we're getting real about expectations—specifically, the ones we place on our home team. You know the crew: your coach, vet, physio, dentist, farrier, saddle fitter, friends... the lot. They're the unsung heroes behind the scenes—but are we sometimes asking too much?

We dive into the tricky territory of what's reasonable vs what's crossing the professional line. Think 10PM vet texts, emergency farrier calls for a pulled shoe, or sending your coach a full breakdown of your last competition ride (plus slow-mo replays, obviously).

We get it—your horse is your whole world. But spoiler alert: they might not be everyone else’s. Let’s talk boundaries, mutual respect, and finding that elusive balance between passion and professionalism.

Plus, this week’s Normal or Neigh?! has us absolutely stumped—we’re still trying to figure out how it even makes sense?!

The Weight of it All31 mars 202500:41:41

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re feeling the weight of it all—literally.

First up, Normal or Neigh takes us back to Episode 4: Layers or Liners, where an Instagram follower shares what they think is a game-changing rug hack… but Charlotte has some serious concerns. Is it brilliant or a bust? You decide!

Then, the girls dive headfirst into a tough but necessary conversation: rider weight. It’s a topic that makes many uncomfortable, but ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. With their signature honesty, humor, and horse-first mindset, they tackle it from all angles—because at the end of the day, our horses don’t get to choose their riders, and welfare must come first.

Unfiltered. Uncensored. Uncomfortably honest. But always for the horse.

Fashion Faux Pas24 mars 202500:31:55

This week on Unbridled Conversations, things get wildly off-track as we dive into the world of equestrian fashion faux pas! It all kicks off with a Normal or Neigh that has us questioning if mismatching has finally gone too far—seriously, even the colorblind would be confused.

From matchy-matchy madness to chaotic colour choices, the girls tackle it all:
Coloured ears? Hard pass.
Waist jackets and paisley silks? Absolutely not.
Croc, patent, aubergine boots? Please, make it stop.

Where do you stand? Are you a lover of bold, bright chaos, or do you stick to classic, traditional styles?

The Horse You Want vs The Horse You Need17 mars 202500:36:50

In this week’s episode of Unbridled Conversations, things get a little gross in “Normal or Neigh” as we discuss polypads—yes, they’re squishy and comfy, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need a wash (yuck!).

Hannah takes a trip down memory lane, sharing hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from her time on Horse & Country TV’s All Stars Academy. If you’re thinking of applying, this is a must-listen! But her story sparks a deeper conversation: why do riders over-horse and over-face themselves? At the end of the day, equestrianism is meant to be FUN—so why do we make it harder than it needs to be?

The girls also tackle some big questions: Why do certain breeds carry such a stigma (because let’s be real—Cobs Can!)? Why do riders stay tied to horses that just aren’t the right match? And most importantly, how do we balance what we want in a horse with what we actually need?

Join us for laughs, honesty, and some much-needed real talk!

Mindful vs Mind FULL03 mars 202500:37:06

Do you lie awake before a competition, overthinking every tiny detail? Do you play Chinese Whispers with yourself—turning a small spook into a full-blown catastrophe in your mind? What about carrying your daily stress onto the yard—how does that impact your horse?

If you’ve ever fallen into the trap of catastrophizing (yes, it can even escalate to air ambulance evacuations- little did Hannah know), then this episode is for you! We’re diving deep into Mindful vs. Mind FULL—breaking down how your thoughts shape your riding, your confidence, and your connection with your horse.

And for the first time ever, we’re joined by a special guest! Kim from Idyllwild Horsemanship is here to give us the lowdown, the nitty-gritty, and some serious mindset gold. Plus, she kicks off the episode with her own Normal or Neigh—and trust us, you do not want to miss it!

Seeing A Stride24 févr. 202500:24:59

This week, Hannah and Charlotte are back with another lively episode, and we’re pretty sure Normal or Neigh will be a unanimous normal—because let’s be honest, who doesn’t pick out little bits of poo by hand to keep their horse’s stable pristine? We all do it… right?!

Then, it’s time for a quick round of word association, and as always, Charlotte doesn’t hold back. Knee-length manes, button plaits, hunter braids—she’s got opinions, and she’s not afraid to share them!

But the real focus of this episode is the elusive art of "seeing a stride". One frustrated equestrian is convinced she wasn’t born with the talent, but Charlotte breaks it all down—turns out, this isn’t some divine gift from the equestrian Gods, but a skill anyone can master with the right approach.

So, saddle up and join the conversation!

Golden Prisons 17 févr. 202500:36:32

This week on Unbridled Conversations, we’re diving into a hot topic sparked by a recent viral video making the rounds on social media. Box walking, cribbing, weaving—what do they all have in common? They’re all signs of a bigger issue: lack of turnout. At the end of the day, it’s simple—horses belong outside. 

Behind the usual laughs (and a tiny bit of drama—because yes, Hannah supposedly almost died this week 🙄), we’re getting serious about the #1 well-being priority for our horses. 

So grab a coffee, hit play, and join the conversation as we talk about why proper turnout isn’t just important—it’s essential.

Headaches with Haynets10 févr. 202500:28:23

This week’s Normal or Neigh has Charlotte absolutely shook. “You’re an ANIMAL!” she tells Hannah—but what on earth has she done to deserve that?! The girls are seriously at odds over this one, and you need to weigh in.

Then, in true Hannah fashion, we spiral wildly off course into the absolute saga of finding the right haynet for Atheby. The floor? A no-go. The hay manger? A disaster. Small-holed nets? Not a chance. We’re talking the hunt for the legendary big net, big hole haynet—if you know, you know.

This episode is chaos, comedy, and 100% relatable. Get ready to laugh your way into the week!

Changing Horses, Chasing Dreams 03 févr. 202500:17:35

This week’s Normal or Neigh had us seriously torn! We’re diving into the world of livery yards and head collar lead ropes—but that’s all we’re giving away. You’ll have to tune in to hear the debate unfold! 

Then, we tackle a controversial Facebook post that’s been overrun by “Karens.” An aspiring rider is selling her beloved horse to move up the competitive ladder, sparking a heated discussion. We break it down from both sides—the rider’s ambitions vs. the horse’s perspective.

Should a horse’s ability limit our own dreams?
Is there shame in selling a horse to step up a level?
How much do we truly owe our horses?

It’s a tough conversation, but it’s the reality for many equestrians. We see you, we support you, and we’re standing with you. Join the conversation, this is one episode you won’t want to miss!

Layers or Liners27 janv. 202500:33:44

In this episode, things get a bit messy—literally! We dive into the Normal or Neigh segment with a less-than-pleasant discussion about dog poo at the stables, which has us all feeling a bit queasy. From there, we get wildly off track (as always!) and explore the evolution of our horses’ rugging systems over the years.

From waffle coolers to liner systems and everything Horseware, we chat about how rugging has changed and share a laugh about our own trials and tribulations. We even trot into the science of hind gut fermentation, uncovering how it helps keep our horses warm from the inside out!

Prepare for belly laughs, a bit of chaos, and maybe even some learning along the way. Oh, and we want to know: are you Team Layers or Liners? Join the conversation and let us know!! 

P.S. Shout out to Horseware Ireland 0 if you're looking for a podcast to sponsor... we're your gals!

Happiness is a State of Mind 20 janv. 202500:35:20

In this episode, we kick things off with our usual “Normal or Neigh” segment—this time, it’s all about hay in the field! With Blue Monday upon us (aka the saddest day of the year), Charlotte somehow missed the memo, so we’re here to brighten up your Monday.

Join us as we dive into all things mindset. From discussing how happiness is truly a state of mind to reflecting on how our horses couldn’t care less about our goals or aspirations—they just want pats and carrots to feel like champions. Plus, we take a moment to imagine how our aspirations might shift in the next five years.

Whether you’re looking for a dose of positivity or some company for your Monday routine, tune in and join the conversation!

Hot Horses Aren't A Flex13 janv. 202500:32:56

In this week’s episode of Unbridled Conversations, we dive into a topic that’s all too relatable: those riders who think a wild, uncontrollable horse makes them look “cool.” Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Inspired by an anonymous rider we saw at a recent show, we’re asking the tough questions— Is your horse really doing this because "he loves it" and didn’t we all grow out of that phase when we were 12?

Join us as we chat about practical tips and tricks to help your horse build confidence and gain experience before hitting the show ring. We’re sharing our favorite training advice, some hilarious stories from our own journeys, and plenty of laughs along the way.

And don’t miss this week’s “Normal or Neigh”—it’s one for the books! We’ll also tackle the timeless question: Do Calmers even work?!

Kick off your Monday with a good laugh, some solid horse sense, and a few moments that’ll make you say, “Yep, been there!”
