After a short break, Oriel and Marissa are back behind the mic — and back in the saddle — for Season Two of The Mounting Block! This catch-up episode is packed with updates from “Horseland,” including the exciting arrival of Hickatee, Marissa’s new quarter horse on lease, and the blossoming paddock friendship (and surprising pecking order!) between Hickatee and Laney.

The duo also opens up about the rollercoaster of horse ownership, from vet checks and heart murmurs to the joy of early-morning feeds and the juggle of family life, work, and riding. With fresh goals, new routines, and a promise to make time for the things that bring them joy, this episode sets the tone for a season all about growth, connection, and not rushing the ride.
