🐴 NEW EPISODE! 🐴

Thinking about buying a horse? Or wondering whether you’re actually ready to take the plunge?

This week we’re talking all things horse buying — what to look for, what to avoid, the red flags that should make you walk away, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is ask for help.

From rose-tinted glasses and getting swept up in a horse you love, to viewing, vettings, trials and trusting your gut...

This week on Outside Rein, we’re diving into neurodiversity in women and the horse world. 🧠🐴

We share some of our own personal experiences and realities, and have a very honest conversation about...

🎙️ WE’RE BACK! And we have a LOT to catch up on…

It’s been four whole weeks since our last episode, which means Nat and I have accumulated a frankly ridiculous amount of life and horsey nonsense to talk about. 😂

This week on Outside Rein, we’re having a proper catch-up — everything that’s been going on in our personal lives, what’s happening with our horses, training, competing (or not), t...

After an 18-month break from competing, Nat is finally heading back into the show jumping ring... and, unsurprisingly, the nerves have decided to make a comeback too.

This week the tables have turned...

After last week with Nat being on the receiving end of the questions, it's now Tor's turn in the hot seat.

From horses and coaching to the stories behind the business, Nat digs into Tor's equestrian journey... before throwing in a very Nat-esque question that nobody saw coming.

And if you've listened to previous episodes, you'll know Tor famously persuaded Nat to share the badger story. Well... reve...

This week, we turn the tables as Tor puts co-host Nat in the hot seat!

From horsey hot takes and riding mishaps to a few questions that have absolutely nothing to do with horses, nothing is off limits. We chat about the experiences that have shaped Nat as a rider, some of her biggest opinions, plenty of laughs... and yes, we finally get that much-requested story out of her!

If you've ever wanted to get to know the voice behind the mi...

This week we’re joined by our very first guest — Jade McNeil.

We chat all about returning to riding and eventing later in life, balancing horses with business, family life and motherhood, and the realities of chasing your goals after time away from the sport.
