"Do I Really Belong Here?", Imposter Syndrome Insights for Equestrians from the Elevate Your Ride Ladies

Send us a textI know I am a day earlier than when I usually bring you a new episode, but I am just too excited about today's episode! This topic is something that has been on my heart to do an episode about for a long time and I knew I needed the right people to bring on to have this conversation with and boy did I pick the right people! Returning to the podcast from Season 1, Lauren and Ellie from Elevate Your Ride not only have the knowledge, but the experience to back up everything they share and talk about to help riders from a fitness and mindset perspective as you heard in our first episode together. In today's episode, what they both share about imposter syndrome and those feelings when we doubt ourselves and question if we deserve what we have is so incredible! Seriously, I am petitioning for them to speak at more events! I feel that Imposter Syndrome in the horse industry is often overlooked or swept under the rug and is something that needs to be talked about more! I took so much away from our conversation and I know you will too! Elevate Your RideFB: @elevateyourrideIG: @elevate.your.rideSupport the showFollow me on all Social Media @theeducatedcowgirl and visit my website theeducatedcowgirl.com for more fun information!

"Suddenly Roan!"-Should I start a Horse True Crime Podcast and All things Roan with Christa Lafayette and Laura Simiele from Etalon!

Send us a textToday's episode comes to you the day after my birthday and at the start of 4th of July weekend! I am joined by two returning guests this week Christa Lafayette and Laura Simiele of Etalon to introduce some exciting additions to their programs, the new research they have found and published about Roan Horses, and the launch of their July Promo! Roan horses are so uniquely beautiful with their eye-catching appearance and they have a long history in many different breeds of horses. Until now a lot of the research that was done previously about them was not published or we could not source it. That is where Christa and her team have stepped in to test and discover fascinating information about Roans and their genetic makeup. As a color genetics nerd, I learned so much from our conversation and it was so much fun talking with them again. I am so thankful that they chose me to have this important discussion that I believe will have a huge impact on the equine industry! etalondx.com to learn more about this researchFB: @etalondx and IG: @etalondxSupport the showFollow me on all Social Media @theeducatedcowgirl and visit my website theeducatedcowgirl.com for more fun information!

So Much More to Discover about Equine Genetics with Christa Lafayette and Etalon!

Send us a textEquine Genetics is probably a topic I nerd out about the most when it comes to talking about horses and the industry! So on today's episode, I am thrilled to share with you my incredible conversation with Christa Lafayette and two members of her team at Etalon to talk about all things genetics and more! There is so much more knowledge we can gain from looking at our horses' genetic makeup to help us become better owners, trainers, and breeders and ensure the sustainability and growth of the equine industry! Equine Genetics can tell us so much more than just how to determine what color a foal might be, it can give us more insights into what traits we should continue to pass along, which ones to watch carefully that we aren't passing on too many genetic abnormalities, and seeing the potential a horse can have in a certain discipline or in others. This information can do so much for the industry and really revolutionize how we see breeding and the equine industry for the future! We talk about this and more in the episode and i can't wait for y'all to hear it! Check out their website etalondx.com or you can follow them on social media!FB: @etalondxIG: @etalondxTikTok: @etalondxThank you to Medica Equine for sponsoring this podcast!Support the showFollow me on all Social Media @theeducatedcowgirl and visit my website theeducatedcowgirl.com for more fun information!
