Welcome back to RRP Trainer Chronicles, an OTTB on Tap Original Series following the riders and retrainers headed to the 2025 Thoroughbred Makeover. In this episode, we're talking dressage, Thoroughbreds, and that all-important seat with Harley Whittaker of HW Dressage in Kirkwood, Pennsylvania.Harley didn't grow up in a horsey family, but she's built a thriving training business rooted in thoughtful, individualized care—and a belief that OTTBs absolutely belong in the dressage ring. She introduces us to her Makeover partner Juancho (aka “Jack”), shares what she looks for in a dressage prospect, and walks us through the early days of training a horse fresh off the track.We chat about visualization, confidence-building, ulcer prevention, and why pulling back is not the answer. Whether you're new to OTTBs, curious about dressage, or just here to root for a great horse and rider team—you'll love this candid and inspiring conversation.

In this first full trainer episode of our 2025 RRP Trainer Chronicles series, we're joined by Stephanie Parkot, a dedicated adult amateur and mom of three from Corfu, New York, who's making her Thoroughbred Makeover debut with a gelding she calls “the right horse at the right time.”Stephanie's Makeover partner is Sterling Honor, a striking son of Honor Code, adopted through New Vocations. Together, they're preparing to compete in Competitive Trail and Dressage—and doing it all while balancing barn time with the demands of family life. Stephanie shares what drew her to off-track Thoroughbreds in the first place, the emotional rollercoaster of returning a previous adoption, and how she found the confidence to try again.She talks candidly about the realities of retraining a Thoroughbred in the dead of a New York winter, the importance of tailoring your program to your lifestyle, and how she's approaching the 2025 RRP Makeover with a mindset centered not on perfection, but on partnership and progress. One of her guiding philosophies? “Flexible consistency”—knowing when to adjust your expectations without losing sight of the goal. Another? Not waiting for the perfect moment.Whether you're a fellow adult amateur retraining an OTTB, curious about the Thoroughbred Makeover process, or simply looking for honest insight into what this journey really looks like behind the scenes, Stephanie's story is one of heart, resilience, and horse-first horsemanship.

Discussions for this gorgeous, creepy movie include trying to figure out why the emotionless Amanda is more relatable than the overly emotional Lily, why so many movies want to look like they were made by Yorgos Lanthimos, how growing up wealthy rots your brains, and what true love in a friendship can look like between two deeply unwell teenage girls.---Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe Buckeye Flame! https://thebuckeyeflame.com/----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
