As season one of On the Lead draws to a close, Shannon and PTF sit down for an exclusive conversation marking Everett Dobson's first 100 days as Chair of The Jockey Club on November 7. In this special season finale, you'll get an inside look at the recent leadership transition and hear Dobson's candid reflections on his expectations and vision for the future of the Thoroughbred industry.When discussing his recent priorities, Dobson outlines a forward-thinking agenda focused on advancing the health and well-being of both horses and participants, working closely with HISA leadership to strengthen data collection and use it to drive meaningful improvements in overall welfare. Dobson also emphasizes the need for greater transparency across the industry, ensuring that both stakeholders and the betting public can better understand the economics of wagering while making data more accessible and meaningful throughout the sport.Looking ahead, Dobson reflects on the power of storytelling and fan engagement, pointing to the NBA as a model for how a sport can successfully leverage its greatest assets, its fans and athletes, to build deeper connections and broader appeal.

When most people think of the Thoroughbred industry, they picture racing, speed, and high stakes. But what happens to these horses after the finish line? And could their intelligence, courage, and sensitivity make them perfect partners in equine-assisted work?✨ “It's a win-win situation for the equine-assisted world and for the Thoroughbred world — an opportunity to give back to society in a meaningful way.” – Suzi Pritchard-Jones✨ “Any living creature is made up of energy. Unless you can express that energy, it gets bottled up and becomes destructive.” – Suzi Pritchard-JonesIn this compelling episode, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Suzi Pritchard-Jones — a breeder and advocate working to bridge the gap between the racing world and the equine-assisted community. Suzi shares her vision for a more humane future for Thoroughbreds, both during their careers and beyond, where welfare, horsemanship, and second careers in therapy and education take center stage.From Ireland to Florida to the UK, Suzi is pushing for change within an industry often misunderstood and criticized, championing transparency, accountability, and empathy for one of the world's most athletic and misunderstood breeds. Together, she and Rupert explore how Thoroughbreds — once the engine of civilization — can once again serve humanity through healing, learning, and connection.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

In this RRP Trainer Chronicles update from OTTB on Tap, we sit down again with dressage trainer Harley Whittaker of HW Dressage in Kirkwood, Pennsylvania to hear the latest on her 2025 RRP Makeover partner, Juancho (“Jack”). Harley shares the ups and downs of Jack's first dressage show experience, why she's choosing to keep him in dressage as his primary discipline, and what kind of home she sees for him after the Makeover.Beyond Jack's journey, Harley gives us an inside look at her training business, the horses currently in her barn, and even a recent appearance she made on JJ Tate's podcast. She offers a practical training tip for green horses and OTTBs—breaking down how she adjusts her approach between Jack, a Thoroughbred gelding, and Navy, a young warmblood mare.We also dive into Harley's passion for rider fitness, exploring how her six-day-a-week gym routine translates into better feel, empathy, and effectiveness in the saddle. Harley explains how fitness outside the barn supports her students too, and shares advice for riders looking to get started on their own programs.With the Makeover countdown on, Harley reflects on the biggest lesson Jack has taught her (“expect the unexpected”) and looks ahead to more off-property practice before they head to Kentucky.Whether you're an OTTB owner, dressage enthusiast, or rider wanting to balance horse training with personal fitness, this conversation with Harley is packed with insights and inspiration.

Mare reproductive challenges can range from endometritis to ovarian irregularities such as hemorrhagic anovulatory follicles, ovarian hematomas, and persistent corpora lutea, all of which can disrupt normal cycles and fertility. Older mares often face anatomical complications that increase contamination and impair conception. Hormonal tumors such as granulosa-theca cell tumors might spur erratic behaviors and cycle abnormalities, while pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID, formerly Cushing's disease) can further dampen reproductive performance by causing abnormal cycles, anovulation, and recurring endometritis. Vigilant diagnostics—including ultrasound, hormone panels, and uterine evaluation—are essential in identifying and managing these issues efficiently. During this Ask TheHorse Live Q&A two experts answer your questions about common mare reproductive problems. This episode is sponsored by Equithrive. About the Experts: Carleigh Fedorka, PhD, assistant professor of equine reproductive physiology at Colorado State University, in Fort Collins, is a global expert in reproductive immunology. She has focused her research on understanding the relationship between the immune system and the reproductive tract, evaluating the efficacy of treatments on various reproductive disorders, and discovering biomarkers for reproductive health. Fedorka earned her BS degree from St. Lawrence University, in Canton, New York, and her PhD in Veterinary Sciences from the University of Kentucky, in Lexington, after working in the industry as a manager of a commercial Thoroughbred breeding farm. She maintains a presence in the equine industry by retraining countless off the track Thoroughbreds, including her personal event horses Judge Johnny (JJ) and Strike Two (Jeter). In her spare time, she enjoys fly fishing, spending time with her husband and their dog, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills.Jenna Ward, DVM, Dipl. ACT, is a clinician and lecturer in large animal reproduction at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square. She earned her DVM at Texas A&M University, in College Station. Ward's research includes stallion reproductive health and genetic-related embryonic loss in horses.

Lifelong horse industry veteran, Jeff Hooper, CEO of Highlander Training Center, joins the podcast to discuss how their program is redefining Thoroughbred racing far from Kentucky bluegrass country and deep in the heart of East Texas.

Horse racing was the most popular sport in early America, drawing massive crowds and fueling a cultural obsession with horses’ speed and pedigree. In the early 1800s, every town in America with a few thousand people had a horse racing track, with major cities drawing crowds of up to 50,000. In the midst of this was Alexander Keene Richards (1827–1881), one of the nineteenth century’s most significant Thoroughbred importers and breeders. Richards was like automotive designer Carroll Shelby, Matt Damon’s character in Ford v. Ferrari, who revolutionized the sport by blending innovation with a relentless drive to perfect the breeding and training of Thoroughbreds. Today’s guest is Gary Odell, author of Reinventing the American Thoroughbred: The Arabian Adventures of Alexander Keene Richards. We explore how Richards traveled thousands of miles on expeditions into the heart of the Syrian desert to obtain Arabian stock of the purest blood. He became the first American to venture into the desert to bargain directly with nomadic tribesmen for their horses. The Civil War interrupted Richards’s equine breeding experiment. After the war, he was bankrupt and spent the rest of his life attempting to rebuild his Thoroughbred facility. But Richards’ willingness to look globally for solutions—traveling to the Middle East for superior bloodlines—parallels today’s international talent scouting and cross-cultural exchanges in sports, fostering a legacy of globalized athletic improvement that shapes how American sports, from horse racing to other disciplines, prioritize scientific innovation and cultural adaptability.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
