In this episode of The Mindful Equestrian Podcast, I’m joined by Abby Stearns—a talented equestrian and barn manager with experience ranging from collegiate riding to managing horses at top-level hunter shows across the East Coast. Abby shares her journey from Vermont to the Winter Equestrian Festival and beyond, and gives honest insight into what it’s really like behind the scenes in a demanding industry.
We talk about burnout, setting boundaries, and the importance of finding a healthy balance between work and personal life—something many equestrians struggle with. Abby also opens up about the role coaching has played in helping her define her path, speak up for herself, and build confidence in and out of the ring.
Whether you're just entering the equestrian world or have been in it for years, there’s something in this conversation for you.
