✨ "It's not about the job or the wages. You have to love it with absolute passion." – Helen PichaHelen Picha manages Liskennett Farm, a groundbreaking equine-assisted therapy center for children and adults with autism and intellectual disabilities in Granagh, County Limerick, Ireland, on the border of Limerick and Cork. She took over as manager two years ago after eleven years working alongside founder David Doyle, and now runs the 80-acre center — home to 23 horses across residential, day, and equine programs — that Rupert calls the cutting edge of best practice in equine-assisted therapy.What sets Liskennett apart is scale paired with radical openness. Every Saturday, the farm runs a booking-free, fee-free open day that draws between 80 and 100 children, no appointment required, no family turned away. Its indoor arena, originally built for riding, has been repurposed entirely into a music, movement, and play space, because the horses and children preferred being outdoors. And many of Liskennett's horses are retired Thoroughbred racehorses, some placed at Cheltenham, brought down from the racing circuit through a careful, months-long retraining process before ever carrying a child.In this conversation, Helen and Rupert trace Liskennett's origin story — from a 2012 Horse Boy demo, a young woman's tragic death, and a €3 million donation to a modern therapy campus — and dig into how the farm actually runs day to day: horse selection and retraining, staff burnout prevention, community integration through an inclusive fox hunt and horse show, and Liskennett's expansion into new satellite centers backed by €6 million in Irish government funding.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Jim Seilsopour, the most consistent guest of the pod, and resident fox hunter, just got back from three weeks in Israel, so this one starts on the beach at Caesarea and wanders everywhere from there.. We use all of that as a runway into thoroughbreds, off-track aftercare, the new racing league picking a fight with the Triple Crown, and what we want to build with Horse People next year.Five things we get into:The new team-based racing league, started by the former Liberty Media exec behind F1's resurgence, and why splitting the sport away from the Triple Crown could hurt everyone. Jim's Israel riding: Arabians that stayed sound over rock and road, four-hour beach rides in and out of the Mediterranean, Druze horsemen who could flat-out ride, and a 12-year-old phenom who reminded Jim of himself at that age.Off-track thoroughbreds getting second lives in the hunt field, and why we both think the thoroughbred is still the most capable horse alive even as modern eventing leans warmblood and dressage-heavy.Keeping horses at home versus boarding them, and the connection Jim says he never appreciated until he was feeding twice a day and catching the small things before they became big ones.Bloodlines, live and unscripted, as we pull up Subic Boy, a new thoroughbred of the Santa Fe hunt on Equibase and trace him back through Bernardini and Seattle Slew to SecretariatIf you have ever wondered what happens to a racehorse after the track, whether a Silicon Valley playbook can be dropped onto a 150-year-old sport, or just what it feels like to gallop an Arabian along the coast where Herod built his city, this is the conversation. Two horse people talking the way horse people actually talk, following the thread wherever it goes, from a Maryland statehouse to a monastery on Mount Carmel to a cattle ranch where a horse that was running at Santa Anita three months ago is now chasing hounds.Follow the show: @horsepeoplepodcastSubscribe and follow Horse People for more cross-discipline content and stories.

Send us Fan MailDr. Michele Frazer, DVM, is a board-certified equine veterinarian at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, Kentucky — one of the world's oldest and most respected equine veterinary practices — where she holds dual diplomate status in two of the most demanding specialties in veterinary medicine. A diplomate of both the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, Dr. Frazer represents the kind of deep, specialized expertise that the most complex equine cases demand. Her passion for horses and the equine industry was always present, but her specific desire to become an equine veterinarian crystallized in a memorable moment: watching Seattle Slew win the Triple Crown. From that spark, she built a career at the highest levels of equine medicine. Her professional interests center on neonatal medicine and the treatment and research of Lawsonia intracellularis, a bacterial pathogen that causes significant disease in young horses and remains an active area of veterinary research. Dr. Frazer describes her first week at Hagyard as her favorite memory of her veterinary career — a dream come true because of the people, the horses, and the extraordinary location in the heart of the Thoroughbred world. Outside of work, she is an enthusiastic supporter of the arts and shares her life with an impressive menagerie that includes horses, llamas, dogs, cats, saltwater fish, rabbits, and lizards.Berry Porter is one of the most respected and inspiring professionals in American hunter-jumper sport — a trainer, judge, volunteer leader, and community builder whose career is as much a story about what is possible in this sport as it is about what he has accomplished within it.Porter's introduction to the hunter-jumper world came through a pony ride as a young child in the Houston area — a single moment that set the course of his life. At 22, he attended his first hunter-jumper competition at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas, arriving without a groom — cleaning all the stalls himself, arriving at 3 or 4 am to do chores before stepping into his role as professional rider and trainer. That combination of humility and relentless work ethic has defined everything he has built since. Berry Porter is the head trainer at Brookside Pine Farms in Conroe, Texas, where he has developed many riders from the beginner level, progressing to compete in the collegiate ranks and succeed at the top levels of equestrian competition. He once watched Frank Madden, Stacia Klein Madden, Andre Dignelli, and Missy Clark on television and thought they were rock stars — and now has those same professionals on speed dial while his students go toe-to-toe with theirs at championship shows. His competitive accomplishments are substantial. At the 2025 Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Final — East, Porter took Leading Trainer honors after coaching riders Eleanor Rudnicki and Emily Jurnovoy to the top two finishes. His contributions to the governance of the sport are equally significant. Porter voluntarily serves on the USHJA Hunter Working Group and the Joint Equitation Task Force, and in December 2025 was awarded the USHJA President's Distinguished Service Award at the USHJA Evening of Equestrians — an honor bestowed upon members who have gone beyond the call of duty to bring the sport to a new level. In May 2026, he was named a recipient of the Ethos Award presented by Ethos Award Equestrian, Inc., which celebrates and elevates the contributions of Black and Brown equestrians who are creating meaningful change and inspiring a more inclusive future in the sport. Porter was among the initial members of the USHJA Diversity Task Force, formed in 2020, and has consistently approached conversations about race and access in equestrian sport with the levelheadedness, generosity, and fundamental optimism that characterize everything he does. Berry Porter is, in every sense, a professional whose presence in this sport makes it measurably better.Eleanor Rudnicki is one of the most compelling success stories in American hunter-jumper sport — a young professional from Conroe, Texas whose journey from a small local barn and a cart-bred pony to the winner's circle of the nation's most prestigious equitation finals is the kind of story the sport tells about itself at its best, and one she actually lived.Her start in the sport was far from glamorous. Growing up in Texas, she began at a small local barn with a pony originally bred to pull a cart — and that same pony, through hard work and persistence, carried her all the way to Pony Finals. The barn where she learned to ride focused primarily on jumpers, but Eleanor was drawn early and irrevocably to the hunters and equitation. She moved to Berry Porter's Brookside Pine Farm in Conroe, Texas at age twelve, and that partnership would prove to be the foundation of everything that followed.What distinguished Eleanor throughout her junior career was not just talent but an extraordinary ability to catch ride — to get on a horse she had barely met and produce a performance that looked like years of partnership. Many of the horses she rode were new to either the equitation or hunter ring, and she fell in love early with the experience of feeling their progression and growth. That versatility produced results across the country at the highest levels of junior competition. In 2019, she won the THIS National Children's Medal Final, and that same year emerged victorious in the Hamel Foundation National Horse Show 3'3" Equitation Championship — impressively, during her first year competing in the equitation ranks and her first indoors season, on a horse she had ridden for the first time only one week prior. She went on to win the ASPCA Maclay at the Kentucky Summer Horse Show and captured the Overall Grand Championship in the 3'6" Junior Hunter National Championship — West in 2023, earning scores of 90 across all three phases on a catch ride.The crowning achievement of her junior career came at the 2025 Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals — East, where she and Qwantreau, a 2016 Belgian Warmblood gelding, were crowned champions after navigating a technical 1.15m course featuring bending lines, unrelated distances, and an open water jump. The win made her the top finisher in one of the most coveted equitation-to-jumper transition competitions in the country and confirmed what the industry had known for years — that Eleanor Rudnicki was ready for whatever came next.Now competing as a professional, she manages horses, clients, and staff while transitioning into the open jumper ranks, with her sights set on five-star shows and ultimately the U.S. Equestrian Team. The cart pony from Texas has taken her a very long way, and she is just getting started.theplaidhorse.comThank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast. This podcast is a labor of love, and every single episode exists because of this incredible community of riders, trainers, barn managers, parents, and horse lovers who show up in the barn, in the ring, and right here with us.At The Plaid Horse, our commitment goes far beyond the show ring. We believe deeply in the power of literacy and education and that every rider, at every level, deserves access to knowledge, stories, and ideas that make them a better horseperson and a better human being. Reading matters. Learning matters. And the stories we tell each other in this sport matter more than we sometimes realize.Whether you are a junior rider picking up your first copy of The Plaid Horse  Magazine, a professional trainer looking for inspiration, or someone who simply loves horses and everything this world stands for then this community is for you. You belong here.We build this together. Every article, every episode, every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, to feel less alone in the challenges of this sport, and to be reminded of why we fell in love with horses in the first place.Until next time, keep reading, keep learning, keep riding, and remember that the horse world is better when we build it together. I will see you at the ring!

Scott Bethke is a Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse jockey who has won 50 races this summer alone. He's also been the leading rider at Chippewa Downs and The North Dakota Horse Park. Scott grew up riding horses and eventually found his way into the world of horse racing, where every race is a mix of preparation, instinct, risk, athleticism, and pure competition. We get into what it's really like being a jockey, the physical and mental side of riding, growing up around horses, competing at tracks across the United State, the difference between Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing, and what it takes to keep finding the winner's circle.  

This week, Andrew and Joseph are asking the important Therapy Questions: If every historical figure got one podcast episode, who would break the internet? What's the first thing humanity would do if unicorns turned out to be real? Which decade would have the most annoying personality? And if every billionaire had to start over with only $100, who would claw their way back to the top first?Then the flocking madness begins. The guys break down the growing backlash against surveillance cameras in North Texas, Trump's Patriot Games and the uncomfortable history of youth sports as propaganda, why Mike Lindell might have a legitimate shot in Minnesota, and America's credit card debt climbing toward an all-time record of $1.26 trillion.Unicorns, billionaires, propaganda, surveillance and crippling debt—just another completely normal week on Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod.Stories discussed:Flock camera backlash in North Texas | KERA NewsTrump's Patriot Games and youth sports as propaganda | MSNOWWhy Mike Lindell could win in Minnesota | MSNOWCredit card debt nears an all-time record | ABC NewsMusic:Intro Song: “Asleep Talking” - Mr. Goody Two Shoes (Magnus Ferrell Cover)Outro Song: “Chalant Type Shit” - Mr. Goody Two Shoes (Unreleased Exclusive Preview)

In this episode of the Practical Horseman Podcast, sponsored by Tribute Equine Nutrition and Farnam, we talk to rising eventing protégée Olivia Dutton—daughter of the legendary eventer Phillip Dutton—fresh off her individual bronze finish with Irish Sport Horse gelding Jewelent at the inaugural FEI Eventing World Championship U25 where they also finished as the highest-placed U.S. combination.This new FEI championship held at Millstreet International in Cork County, Ireland, was created to help bridge the gap between Young Rider and senior-level competition and saw 40 riders under the age of 25 from 14 different nations compete at the CCI4*-S level. After dressage, Olivia and Jewelent sat in 26th place, but made a stellar comeback over cross country and show jumping to secure the first-ever individual medal for the U.S. at the inaugural championship.The 24-year-old has blossomed from a wide-eyed, horse-crazy girl into a promising young star in the sport as she carries forward one of eventing's most respected family legacies. In today's podcast, Olivia tells us about her partnership with Jewelent, what it was like having her famous father as a coach growing up and how they continue to navigate the parent-coach dynamics and why she rides for herself as well as for her family's name.About Olivia DuttonGrowing up riding on the family's True Prospect Farm in West Grove, Pennsylvania, under the tutelage of her dad—a seven-time Olympian and two-time Olympic gold medalist—Olivia was immersed in the Dutton's professional eventing operation from time she could walk. Long before recognizing her own competition ambitions, she tagged along with her parents to some of the biggest events around the world where she had the opportunity to watch her dad compete at the highest level of the sport.While her parents encouraged Olivia to pursue show jumping, she caught the eventing bug by the age of 10 when she began competing with one of her first mounts The Dude. She later took over Santa's Playboy, an off-the-track Thoroughbred who had previously competed at the Advanced level with owner Amy Ruth Borun. In 2016, they were Reserve Champions in the CCI2* at the Hagyard Midsouth Three-Day Event & Team Challenge.In 2018, she helped Area II capture team gold at the Adequan FEI North American Youth Rider Championships riding Mr. Medicott and went on to compete at increasingly demanding levels, moving up to Intermediate at Carolina International and later stepping into CCI4* competition.Olivia briefly stepped away from full-time competition to attend the University of Kentucky, where she studied business while continuing to ride and compete on weekends—a balancing act that became a hallmark of her early 20s.In 2022, she partnered with off-the-track Thoroughbred Sea of Clouds after taking over the ride from her dad, who had produced the gelding to the five-star level and finished in 10th place at the 2022 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*-L. Olivia and “Socs,” who'd been on the family's farm since he was a 3-year-old, finished 13th in the 2024 Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S in and were in the MARS Bromont CCI4*-L that same year.Together, the pair has continued to climb the international ranks, contesting multiple CCI4* events, including Bromont International and Boekelo before capturing a standout CCI4*-S victory at the Morven Park Fall International and Horse Trials in 2025.About This Episode's Sponsors: Tribute Equine Nutrition and FarnamTributeAt Tribute Equine Nutrition, caring for horses has always come first.

In this magical episode, Dr. Jen White dives into the unseen world of manifestation, synchronicities, and following the intuitive breadcrumbs left by the divine. Moving beyond rigid rules, rituals, or complex formulas, she shares the incredible story of how her dream horse, Ember—a 12-year-old gray off-the-track Thoroughbred—literally called out to her in her dreams for two years before finding her in real life. From navigating initial setbacks and deep emotional healing to recognizing the subtle "signs and symptoms" that a dream is on the verge of taking physical form, Dr. Jen makes the mystical feel grounded, safe, and easily understandable. Whether you are navigating chronic health challenges, feeling stuck in a transition, or longing for a life that feels more free and aligned, this episode will inspire you to trust your heart's deepest longings, get out of your own way, and get ready for your desires to meet divine timing. Themes:  Recognizing recurring dreams, irresistible longings, synchronicities, and divine pings that signal a big shift is coming. Shifting away from "forcing" or complex rituals and stepping into an open-hearted state of receiving and trust. How the journey to your desires might not look like what you pictured initially, but often holds the exact healing you need. How horses (and pets) act as spiritual mirrors, heart healers, and guides through times of grief and transformation. Why step-by-step healing and stepping into clear, grounded self-worth accelerates the timeline for what is meant for you.   Connect with Jen:

Fan-favorite guest Aubrey “AP” Graham returns to OTTB on Tap to take us inside Stall 13, her new nonprofit created to help a particularly vulnerable group of off-track Thoroughbreds: the horses who encounter complications during their transition or later in their second careers and may otherwise fall through the cracks.Many OTTBs move successfully from racing into new homes and careers, often with the support of excellent aftercare and retraining programs. But some need more time, investigation, rehabilitation, or specialized support than a traditional transition allows. These may be horses dealing with unresolved pain, unsuitable placements, training challenges, or owners who no longer have the resources to help them move forward.Aubrey explains how Stall 13 works alongside her training and sales program, Kivu Sport Horses, to give these horses time, thoughtful evaluation, veterinary support, retraining, and a better chance of finding the right long-term home.The conversation dives deeply into the connection between pain and behavior in off-track Thoroughbreds. Aubrey shares real-world cases involving kissing spine, hock arthritis, suspensory injuries, ulcers, hoof pain, rearing, bucking, rushing, and spooking. She explains why the most obvious diagnosis is not always the correct one, and why riders may need to look beyond the back and begin with the horse's feet, lower limbs, and hind end.Emily, Niamh, and Aubrey also discuss the challenges of honestly marketing Thoroughbreds, the limitations of describing any horse as “safe,” and why a horse may behave very differently after moving to a new barn or rider. They explore what adult amateur riders are really asking for when they want a quiet trail horse, and why that type of experience and reliability can take significant time and training to develop.Aubrey also shares updates from Kivu Sport Horses and Thoroughbred Logic, including her upcoming Thoroughbred Logic book. Designed as a practical guide to understanding and retraining off-track Thoroughbreds, the book connects what horses learn at the racetrack with their behavior, training, physical needs, and first rides in a second career.This episode is an honest, thoughtful look at OTTB rehabilitation, horse-first training, pain-related behavior, responsible placement, and the difficult but rewarding process of figuring out what each individual Thoroughbred needs to succeed.Connect with Aubrey Graham and Kivu Sport HorsesWebsite: www.kivusporthorses.com Facebook: AP Graham Facebook page: Kivu SporthorsesLearn more about Stall 13Website: www.stall13.org Substack: https://substack.com/@stall13thoroughbredsThe Stall 13 website also includes information about the organization, available horses, and ways to donate.

As horses age, their health care needs and associated costs often increase, making proactive management especially important. Having your veterinarian perform regular examinations, dental evaluations, and monitoring for common senior conditions can help you catch problems early and potentially reduce long-term expenses. Senior horses might also require specialized feeds, medications, or additional supportive care, which can increase monthly costs. Developing a preventive care plan and budgeting for age-related health needs can help owners support their horses' comfort and longevity. This episode is brought to you by CareCredit. Meet the Experts: Alex Bianco, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, is a Minneapolis native and graduate of the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, in St. Paul. After completing a rotating equine internship at Kansas State University, in Manhattan, she completed a large animal internal medicine residency at Purdue University, in Lafayette, Indiana. Following her residency, Bianco remained at Purdue for an additional year working as an equine ambulatory veterinarian, before returning to the University of Minnesota as clinical faculty in 2016.Jonathan Yardley, DVM, is a graduate of Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine, in North Grafton, Massachusetts. He began his career with a private practice internship before joining a prominent racetrack practice, Teigland, Franklin, and Brokken, where he specialized in caring for an elite clientele of Thoroughbred racehorses. In 2014 Yardley shifted from private practice to academia as an ambulatory, clinical-track veterinarian in the Equine Field Service department at The Ohio State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, in Columbus, where he currently serves as an associate professor. As the equine rotating internship director, Yardley is committed to fostering an enriching learning environment that empowers interns to develop their clinical and critical thinking skills throughout their yearlong internships. Dedicated to veterinary wellness, Yardley serves as co-chair of the College of Veterinary Medicine Health & Wellbeing Committee, championing evidence-based strategies for healthcare improvement. He hosts the podcast “Horse Talk with Doc,” where he shares valuable insights into equine health and well-being. Outside of his professional pursuits, Yardley is an avid curler who enjoys traveling with his wife. They share their home with three beloved Doodles.
