Welcome to the Drop Your Stirrups podcast, where we explore topics about the equestrian industry, how hard it can be, and the reason we do it - for the love of horses!

Dropping your stirrups is hard work! As riders, we know. We get it. It’s burpees for equestrians. When you take the stirrups away, you have to find another way to balance to stay on the horse and in the saddle. You find muscles you never knew you had. It is no fun, but it the work is important if you want to become a better rider.

Whether you’re a rider, trainer, owner, or provide some kind of professional services to the industry, you are “dropping your stirrups” every day, overcoming challenges that are unique to a lifestyle involving horses.

The equestrian industry is a growing $120+billion industry, with a wide variety of players! We will look at the numbers behind the businesses, market trends, social impact, health and wellness, competition and recreational segments, and those compelling stories of how horses can bring out the best in humans.

Discussing challenges and finding solutions on how to be better stewards of horses is what we strive to do.

So let’s get to work, and Drop Your Stirrups!
