This week, we’re talking all things clipping aka the horse girl version of salon day, except it happens every 7–10 days, nobody offers you a glass of Prosecco, and you leave with rogue hairs stuck in your bra that itch for a fortnight.We get into every angle: failed attempts at stopping the hair growth, sweating, drying, mud, tears, tantrums, and the emotional damage of the clock changes. Basically, if you’ve ever cried into a pair of clippers, you are one of us.And this week’s Normal or Neigh comes from Izzie, who wants to know: would you (or do you) travel your horse with tack on?! We’ve got thoughts, and you know we want yours too.Tune in and join the conversation! Connect with us and share your stories on Instagram and Facebook at @Unbridled.Conversations

Karmic Balance
This week, we’re joined by the incredible Faith Banks for a conversation that every equestrian will connect with. Faith’s story isn’t about fairy-tale finishes, red rosettes, or picture-perfect moments. It’s raw, unfiltered, and uncomfortably honest. It’s also a reality that so many horse owners quietly live through.From unwanted advice to battling outside noise, Faith has learned the power of putting herself and her horse first and her resilience will inspire you to do the same. But don’t worry, it’s not all heavy. Between the laughs, the tears, and a trip down memory lane to those long summer days at the yard, there’s plenty to smile about.Faith even brings along this week’s Normal or Neigh, making this one an episode you won’t want to miss. This one’s for the horse girls... the real ones.Tune in and join the conversation! Connect with us and share your stories on Instagram and Facebook at @Unbridled.Conversations

Shhh... The Horse's Are Sleeping
This week’s episode of Unbridled Conversations is one big brain teaser. Do our horses actually sleep properly, and if they don’t… does it affect how they work for us? Hannah throws down the ultimate question and it leaves both girls spiralling into midnight checks, nap times, and whether or not Willow is secretly sleep deprived.Meanwhile, Normal or Neigh comes courtesy of Maggie… or Samantha (the debate is real), who writes in about the joy of grooming, not just the quick flick before a ride, but that inner pony-mad-kid satisfaction of spending hours brushing until they shine like glass. The girls weigh in: is this total bliss or a total time-waster?Tune in, because between snoring horses, nostalgic grooming sessions, and a bit of friendly chaos, this episode is not one to sleep on.Tune in and join the conversation!

It Was Giving... Toxic
Burghley fever is in the air and the girls are buzzing as they recorded just before the action kicked off. But first, this week’s Normal or Neigh hits hard, with both Hannah and Charlotte completely united for once (shocking, we know). Then it’s straight into the chaos of a recent show jumping outing, and let’s just say… the vibes were not immaculate. From rough riding and overcooked horses to riders shouting at their grooms, the girls are asking: why can’t we all just enjoy our ponies? Competing doesn’t have to be toxic but WOW, do we have stories.Tune in and join the conversation! Connect with us and share your stories on Instagram and Facebook at @Unbridled.Conversations

Unbacked to Unstoppable
This week we’re calling out one of the most relatable equestrian struggles ever… when the non-horsey boyfriend offers to help. Spoiler alert: it’s NOT actually helpful, and you’ll spend more time cleaning up behind him than he spent “helping”. But do we feel bad for being fussy? No. Absolutely not.Then we dive into a brilliant listener message from Claire, who’s starting her journey with a new youngster and dreaming of eventing. Where do you even begin? What’s too soon? What’s realistic? And how do you build fitness and confidence for both horse and rider?Relatable chaos and serious horse talk. Exactly how we like it.Tune in and join the conversation!
