Qredit Hilltop: "King Q" Reigns
Qredit has not only proven himself as a top dressage horse and a top dressage stallion, but he also makes himself known to the other stallions at Hilltop Farm, hence the nickname "King Q." But once he's quickly said his piece, he goes back to being a laidback and uncomplicated dude. Quirks are not his thing - it takes too much effort to be weird! He prefers to be straightforward, to stick with the people he knows, and to stay focused on the business at hand. Oh, and keep those blankets to you...

On Tour: Slow Start, Swift Ascent
On Tour may have had a late start to his pony hunter career, completing his green year when he was 10 years old, but "Morley" wasted no time making a name for himself. Although his late arrival to the show circuit meant he had a bit more growing up to do than his competitors, his catch rider Kenzie Smith and her mom Heather Acker knew just how to hold his hand to build his confidence, keep him happy, and reach his potential.

Rincoola Milsean: Tenacious Pocket Rocket
Where "Roy" lacks in the size department, he makes up for in personality, which fits perfectly with his reputation as the cartoon character of North Star Sport Horses. "He's so different from any other horse," according to his owner and rider Charlotte Jacobs. But with time, this small and mighty chestnut gelding taught Charlotte exactly what he needed, enabling him to soar far above the expectations she had. Through communication, compromise, and connection, the duo was able to earn the titl...

On Point: Sweet with a Work Ethic

Alisa and Jason Berry were able to give "Porter" just that, allowing him to shine in record time in the 3'6" Amateur Owner Hunters. Building trust and building confidence were the building blocks of the Berrys' training program, enabling Porter to secure the USEF Grand Champion Horse of the Year title in 2024.

At the highest level, the best cutting horses don't just like to do their job - they need to do it. Kat Play is one of these special horses, and Monty Buntin, NCHA Hall of Fame trainer, understands how to support Kat Play's personality to maximize his instinct to separate the cow from the herd. As so many of the super successful horses do, Kat Play has his quirks, such as being claustrophobic and being particular about his routine and his people, but when he knows what to expect and when he h...

Laura Kraut joins as our guest to talk about how she and her team meet his personality related needs.

Fiontini: A Fiercely Independent Dressage World Champion
"Fio" is ready to conquer the world, but it's taken Anna Buffini some time to convince Fio that they have to do it together and that Fio cannot, in fact, compete in dressage without a rider - although Fio sometimes thinks otherwise! Fiercely independent and one of the most talented dressage horses in the world, the sky is the limit for Fio if she can learn to trust in Anna as her dance partner. Through patience and consistency, Anna has wormed her way into Fio's heart and, one nap at a time, ...

Taking A Mistress: The Epitome of "Willingly Guided"
When you think of a champion reiner, the words "chill, sweet, and forgiving" are probably not at the top of the list to describe them, but that's exactly what "Romeo" is! He is the perfect blend of talent and temperament to juggle his non-pro owner Bevin Zimmerman and Open trainer Jesse Gentile without batting an eye. As the "picture of 'willingly guided,'" Romeo does exactly what he's told and nothing more, but as Bevin has learned, that has its challenges for someone who is learning! But wh...

Quantum Leap: The "Genuine" Eventer
While he may give off jock vibes galloping around the cross-country course, Quantum is really just a big softy to those who know him personally. For people who really get to know him, he'll do anything, and it's these relationships that really give him the confidence he needs to be a top 5* event horse. Sam Cuomo, Doug Payne's head groom, talks with me about how she makes sure she's meeting Quantum's needs when at home and on the road. Support the show Want to learn more about your horse's in...

Babylon: A Ham of a Hunter
Babylon is known as much for his boisterous personality as his talent in the hunter ring. In addition to collecting tricolors in the small junior hunters and performance hunter ring, "Crumbles" can be heard announcing himself in the morning on the way to the warmup ring and can be found pulling the fly masks and blankets off of his neighboring stall buddies. John French joins me to discuss how he's taken steps to ensure that Crumbles stays the happy, mischievous ham that he is while still ach...

Don John: Agreeable, yet Strict, Dressage Olympian
When it comes to equipping "DJ" for Olympic-level dressage success, Nick Wagman says it comes down to two things: structure and sugar cubes! DJ is as sweet as they come, as long as you prove your trustworthiness first. The people on his team can make or break DJ's day (and Nick's bones!) if they skip a step in his strict routine or if they don't allow time for a trusting relationship to develop. But when all things align, DJ is championship material as he has proven by his massive success in ...

Sparkys Shining Doll: The All Business Reiner
"Marvel" might have a cool, steady demeanor in the barn, preferring a good roll in the dirt over playing on the lunge line (even when he's cooped up at shows), but he is all business and ready to put on a show when he steps in the ring. Ty and Rhea Pole of Blue Collar Horse Company discuss what makes Marvel such a good candidate for giving the kids a ride to winning reining world titles. *Disclaimer* The breeding practices for a stallion are briefly discussed which may not be appropriate for...

Anthony Patch: From "Dangerous" to 5 Stars
Anthony Patch, a failed racing thoroughbred better known as "Al" (#goalgo) to his fans, was bought as a "dangerous" four-year-old by Lainey Ashker as her next Eventing prospect. Despite his quirks (although the quirky ones are the best ones, according to Lainey), Lainey brought him up through the levels, teaching him everything from jumping corners to standing in ice boots. The pair competed at big tracks such as the Kentucky 3-day and Burghley. Al had all the scope in the world, but he deman...

So Enchanted, known as Lex around the barn, has too many tricolors to list! In addition to a clean sweep at Pony Finals in 2016, Lex was 2022 USEF/Smartpak Grand Champion Pony Hunter of the Year. When you think of such a successful pony hunter - especially a small such as Lex - you likely think that the pony will just pack around anybody, but you'd be wrong in this case! While she won't do anything bad, Lex needs the right team of trainer, rider and groom to truly bring out her best. Listen t...
