Another new episode drops Monday morning 👀

WE ARE BAAAAACKKKKKKK!

Thank you all for so patiently waiting for us to be back from our summer break.

We had so many fun things happening like horse shows, breeding mares and family events we needed a little “time out in the pasture”

Tomorrow morning, a new episode drops with WSQHA’s show manager Lisa Gardner and what you can expect attending the Fiesta Circuit & AQHA Region Championship 🐴

Crysta & Erin will see you there!!!

Should the mini mic come out of retirement as well since we are back at a horse show together in over a year?

Episode 43
Ryen Overlin

Back from Spring Break and diving right in, this week we sit down with Ryen — a veteran who completed an intensive horsemanship program created specifically for those who’ve served. In just five days, he went from learning the basics to confidently working down the fence, uncovering a passion he never expected. Today, that passion fuels him five days a week.

And it didn’t stop there. Ryen also discovered a love for craftsmanship, now creating custom bits and spurs in his home shop — another unexpected hobby sparked by his connection to horses.

Tune in to hear how a short program ignited a lifelong passion and a whole new direction.
