## Resource

This episode was originally published on The Horsewoman's Almanac on Oct 01, 2025. We're re-sharing it here following the news that Anna has fully stepped back from Dressage and is leasing her horses out to Sofie Holmes and Ashley Donadt. Next week, we'll return to our regularly scheduled Horse Person content. Anna Buffini is a professional dressage rider who has competed for the U.S. Dressage Team in 5 nations cups following an extremely successful junior career. She's inspiring and educating horse people everywhere through her huge social media presence, and is just one of our favorite horse girls out there. Today, we're exploring everything from our latest fantasy reads, to the athlete's mindset that Anna's parents helped her cultivate, to musings about religion, spirituality, and the afterlife. Also, Anna drops some breaking news on the podcast about a major career pivot that she's currently working through. There's something for everyone in this wide-ranging episode. Enjoy!
