YOUR HOST

Samantha Baer

As a professional event rider and educator, I created this podcast to bring you the conversations I wish I'd had access to earlier in my career. Real talk with real experts — no fluff, no gatekeeping.

Each week, I sit down with riders, trainers, veterinarians, and researchers who are at the top of their fields. We go beyond the basics to explore what truly makes the horse-human partnership thrive.
