Pull up a mounting block and settle in. This week, we’re hosting the ultimate barn aisle reunion with three of our favorite Quarter Horse Influencers: Katie Van Slyke, Amanda Delgado, and Madelyn Houser.

Since they’ve all been in the podcast saddle before, we’re skipping the basics and getting straight to the heart of the horse industry. We’re catching up on their latest prospects, the highs and lows of the show/breeding season, and the reality of managing a "horse girl" life in the digital age. It’s all the barn talk you love, without having to clean any stalls.

Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush on this episode of the Quarter Horse Podcast! We’re diving headfirst into the high-octane world of trick riding—a discipline where history meets heart-stopping stunts. From its origins as a survival tactic on the Russian Steppes to the glitz of Dolly Parton’s Stampede and modern rodeo arenas, we explore why the American Quarter Horse is the undisputed king of the stunt world. Join us as we talk to professional performer Shadow Storm about the "high" of the hunt and the reality of life upside down, and veteran trainer Shelly Bicknell, who breaks down the rigorous safety and foundational training required to keep horse and rider "stunt ready." Tighten your cinches—it’s going to be a fast ride!

You can't talk about Team Penning without talking about the Quarter Horse. This sport is perhaps the purest test of the breed's intelligence, speed, and 'cowiness.' In just 60 seconds, a team of three riders and their horses have to communicate, strategize, and execute a perfect cut. Where does that incredible skill come from? We're looking back at the foundation of the sport, exploring how the innate ability of the working cow horse gave birth to a competitive arena where teamwork and instinct are what truly win the day.
