Heels Down Happy Hour Podcast 43: KonMari Your Equestrian Life & What’s Up In Welly World

Every equestrian has too much stuff. There’s no denying it. But what happens when it all sparks joy? We’ll discuss when is it time to clean out that tack trunk. This week, we’ll get a update on all things Wellington, as the winter show season is in full swing, and we’ll talk about something kind of taboo: talking to your horse in the show ring.

Special Guest: 

Lindsay Brock works for the public relations firm, Jump Media, where she spends most of her winter in sunny, breezy, Wellington. In 2008, Lindsay graduated with honors in writing and communications from Houghton College, where she also served as the President of the Houghton College Equestrian Society and competed on its hunter/jumper and eventing teams. Upon graduation, Lindsay worked at The Hollywood Reporter and Carol Mann Agency in New York City.  Through her experience as a writer, photographer, and social media manager, she has explored the facets of both mainstream and equine-industry organizations. She’s represented many famous horse shows, from HITS to Longines, and Olympic riders.
