Ten Things We Will Never Do With Horses Natalie Keller Reinert and Heather Wallace kick off with storm prep, sleep deprivation, weather chaos, and horse life before turning the conversation into a playful but surprisingly practical list episode. The main focus is on the horse-related things they refuse to do, from unsafe riding habits to poor welfare choices, with a mix of personal standards, trainer ethics, and a lot of honesty. In this episode, Natalie and Heather each share five things they will never do with horses, and they explain the reasoning behind each one. It is part comedy, part horse welfare conversation, and part “we are absolutely serious about this.” Links: www.adultingwithhorsespodcast.com Instagram @adultingwithhorsespodcast Twitter @AdultingHorses Facebook Group, The Clubhouse: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adultingwithhorsespodcast/ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AdultingWithHorsesPodcast Thank you for being a little weird with us, horse girl!

Heather and Natalie dive into the unexpected challenges of equestrian adventures, particularly during Heather's recent trip to Iceland. From tech mishaps to the trials of riding a particularly wide horse, their conversation is both humorous and relatable. The episode kicks off with a lighthearted exchange about the absurdities of AI giving personal advice to Natalie. Heather describes her recent tour in Iceland, where she found herself leading a group of riders of all skill levels. "It was like an adrenaline rush, such a good group of people," she shares. However, day two brought unexpected challenges when she encountered a horse that was a bit too wide for comfort. The Dangers of Riding a Potato Heather humorously refers to her horse as a "potato" due to its wide saddle, which led to some intense muscle spasms. "I was struggling to breathe... my muscles locked up," she recalls. The conversation shifts to the broader issue of horse breeding, with Natalie chiming in about the discomfort that wide horses can cause for riders.
