My Broke Horse Mom story

In this first episode of Broke Horse Moms, I’m turning the mic on myself to share how we stumbled into this sport, what it’s meant for my family, and why this community matters so much.

From Chloe’s very first pony ride at the county fair, to her first falls (and my first ringside heart attacks), to finding Phoebe, the opinionated pony who changed everything, I’ll take you through the highs, the wipeouts, and the unexpected ways horses transformed not just Chloe, but me too.

This is the story behind Broke Horse Moms: the lessons, the friendships, and the dreams being chased.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating barn life without a map, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • How our family accidentally fell into horse life
  • The role Chloe’s uncle and grandparents played in keeping horses in the family
  • The bumpy road of lessons, leases, and falls (including broken bones and stitches)
  • How Phoebe became Chloe’s heart pony and show partner
  • The incredible growth I’ve seen in Chloe (and myself) through this journey
  • Why I created Broke Horse Moms
