Unbridled Conversations: The Unstable Equine Podcast

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!

Previous Episode

Layers or Liners

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!

Next Episode

Headaches with Haynets

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!
