About this episode

The episode discusses endurance riding, featuring Karen's achievements and insights on horse welfare and recovery.

We celebrate Karen’s recent 50‑mile NASDAR ride, where she topped 40,000 AERC lifetime miles, and dig into how endurance riding has evolved with better vet care, gear, and a stronger focus on horse welfare and longevity. Karen shares practical post‑ride recovery tips for riders, Kristen from The Distance Depot highlights cooling gear for hot‑weather riding, and Arabian Horse Association CEO Terrell O’Shea explains her plan to promote Arabians’ strengths in endurance while expanding inclusive programs under the “You Belong” campaign.
