In this conversation, Tamara Lee Barrett and Vanessa Helvey are joined by Horse Trainer and Team Roper, Jayde Slade. They explore the intricacies of horsemanship and team roping, the role of balance in horse training, and the importance of understanding the horse's perspective.

While we may come from different ends of the spectrum in the horse world, this open-minded discussion leads to interesting conversations and perspective shifts. Listeners will appreciate Jayde's ability to answer some tough questions on tack, tie downs, and more in a clear and thoughtful way.
