Helena made fresh tracks with Siouxsie in the new sand ring, and so many things became clear during that ride. The change in Siouxsie’s attitude, the way she feels while being ridden, the potential for developing a truly fit and healthy horse, and the feedback loop between a green horse and the human she’s come to trust.

How does a horse’s environment make a difference in their future as athletes? There are many horses out there with similar stories who are simply asked, or told, to trudge along because their reluctance to work is perceived as lazy or naughty. More than one trainer made the same assumptions about Siouxsie, but in following her instincts, Helena learned something very important. Listen in!

EP 79: It’s Either Horses or Me

Living with a horse person is a unique experience, especially when you’re not the kind of person who is completely obsessed with horses. Living with horses in your backyard is an equally unique experience, because horses aren’t just in your life, they ARE your life, whether you like it or not.

In this episode, Buck joins Helena once again, but this time to discuss what it’s like to have every corner of your home, and most of your life, influenced by horses and horsey things. How does this couple make it work? Listen in!

“The road to hell, they say, is paved with good intentions. Well, I say it’s paved with filter sand. Lots and lots of filter sand.”

-Helena

From working with contractors and measuring for sand depth, to keeping your wits about you when a tropical storm turns everything to soup, this is a story that turns anguish into wisdom. Listen in!
