So, with all the different \"bubbles\" of the horse world, how can we all get into the same room to share a little bit of curiosity, perspective, and humanity with each other? Welcome to Horse Person, the equestrian podcast hosted and produced by 3x award-winning podcaster Caroline Culbertson. Part education, part human-(horse?) interest, all with the ultimate goal of supporting and encouraging you on your journey to become the best horse person you can be.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T20:17:44.589925+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/horse-person-7041983"},"episode":{"title":"Most of Us Aren't Riding 6-Figure Horses (And That's Okay) - with Maddie Houser of @theblondeandthebay_","slug":"most-of-us-aren-t-riding-6-figure-horses-and-that-s-okay-with-maddie-houser-of-theblondeandthebay","published_at":"2026-04-15T09:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/horse-person-7041983/most-of-us-aren-t-riding-6-figure-horses-and-that-s-okay-with-maddie-houser-of-theblondeandthebay","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/horse-person-7041983","url":"https://79b2102c-3fd6-423a-a765-ff527b31a91a.libsyn.com/most-of-us-arent-riding-six-figure-horses-and-thats-okay-with-madelyn-of-theblondeandthebay_","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/79b2102c-3fd6-423a-a765-ff527b31a91a/MaddieHouserFINAL.mp3?dest-id=4703547","summary":"This episode is sponsored by Corro. Click here and use code horsewoman15 at checkout. There's a version of this sport that tells you success looks one way: the right horse, the right path, the right goals. And then there's real life, especially as adult amateurs. We have financial hurdles, time constraints, and changing priorities, It's time to embrace that. In this conversation, Madelyn Houser of @theblondeandthebay_ got really honest about her journey from losing her confidence, to completely redefining what success looks like as an amateur rider riding unconventional horses in the sport of dressage. For her, it meant letting go of what others expected or thought, and getting real with herself about what felt comfortable and happy to her. We talk about over-horsing ourselves, the pressure to \"push through,\" and the reality that not everyone is riding a six-figure warmblood (in fact, most of us don't!)… and that doesn't make you any less of a rider. If anything, it might make you a better one. If you've ever felt behind, intimidated, or questioned your path in this sport, this episode is for you.","meta_description":"This episode is sponsored by Corro.
