In this episode of The Mounting Block, Marissa and Oriel dive into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes humbling experience of falling—off horses and in life. Whether it’s a surprise dismount in the arena or a personal setback that knocks the wind out of you, these two know a thing or two about landing flat and finding the strength (and humour) to get back up.

They share real stories of self-doubt, bruised egos, and the kind of resilience that comes from dusting yourself off—sometimes literally—and trying again. With a healthy dose of honesty and cheek, Marissa and Oriel talk about how they’ve ninja rolled their way through life’s challenges, one fall at a time. Tune in for relatable moments, laughter, and a reminder that you’re not alone when life throws you off course. Because falling might be part of the ride, but so is getting back in the saddle.
