Ever wondered why quality horses cost what they do—or why running a horse facility feels like an uphill financial battle? 🐴💸

This week on the Dressage Radio Show, Reese & Megan dive deep into the real economics of the equine world! 🎧✨

What’s in this episode:

Behind the Price Tag: Jessica Gaston breaks down the surprising, real-world numbers behind selling a single quality horse.

The Economic Disconnect: Equine economist & UK professor Dr. Jill Stowe drops by to unpack the huge gap between the actual cost of producing, training, and housing a horse vs. what buyers expect to pay.

Championship Updates: Heidi Basler brings us an exclusive report straight from the FEI World Equestrian Championships in Aachen! 🇩🇪🏆

Whether you're buying, selling, or just trying to make the math make sense, you don't want to miss this reality check.

🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨

This week, we're focusing on women's health with three inspiring guests who share their unique perspectives on health, wellness, and life in the equestrian world.

Jennifer Flory joins us after singing the National Anthem at Pony Cup. A professional opera singer and equestrian, Jennifer discusses riding during pregnancy, balancing motherhood and horses, and the importance of caring for your voice and overall health.

Kerri, an adult amateur rider, shares a remarkable story about how pain while sitting the trot led her to seek medical attention. That decision resulted in the discovery of an ovarian mass, highlighting the importance of listening to your body and not dismissing persistent pain.

Dr. Wendy from Intention Health & Wellness rounds out the episode with practical insights into women's health, whole-body wellness, and proactive care. She discusses ways women can prioritize their health so they can continue to thrive both in and out of the saddle.

Join us for an informative conversation about recognizing your body's signals, prioritizing wellness, and supporting women's health throughout every stage of life.
