Horse Podcast Showcase: Fallon Taylor

About the Podcast

The equestrian world really is larger than we think. Not only are we comprised of various disciplines, but we’re also made up of riders, creators, authors, and business owners. So what do you get when you cross three equestrian bloggers from different corners of the world? A podcast that’s rich with stories from many different angles of our community.

Equestrian Pulse illuminates everything about the horse world, from horse care and riding tips, inspiring stories of everyday riders and competitors, and motivational episodes from equine business experts, practitioners, and authors.

Key Players

Andrea: Nutritionist by day and dressage rider by night (and weekend) from Queensland, Australia, Andrea is the creator of The Sand Arena Ballerina blog. There she chronicles her journey with her mare, Nonie (short for “anonymous mare”). She does a fabulous job of bringing positive community and body image conversations into the equestrian community.
Heather: Heather is an equestrian author, blogger at The Timid Rider, and equine massage therapist in her co-owned business, Animal Bodywork NJ in Red Bank, New Jersey. After returning to horse riding following years away from the saddle, Heather is vulnerable about how cautious, thoughtful, and “timid” she is. But, she’s always determined to #bebold and inspires her readers to do the same. She and her girls ride their horse, Ferrous, and have recently acquired a second herd member, Delight (Heather’s lesson horse upon her return to riding).
Louise: She’s the mastermind behind the equestrian lifestyle blog, In Due Horse, where she talks about fashion, riding, and life in France. Louise is originally from the UK, but now lives in France with her hubby, her cat Gwen, and her newest family member, Gracie: a young mare that Louise is training from the ground up.
Guests: Because the Equestrian Pulse aims to explore all areas of the horse world, guests range from bloggers to competitive equestrian athletes, authors, business owners, and health professionals. Some episodes even feature listeners who call in on special episodes (see the “Listener Takeovers” below).
