Unbridled Conversations: The Unstable Equine Podcast

50: Mercury's in Retrograde

Hannah & Charlotte Season 1 Episode 50

This week, logic leaves the chat.

What starts as a Normal or Neigh quickly spirals into full-blown chaos as the girls find themselves checking their horses’ horoscopes. Yes, actual star signs,  to decide whether it’s a good day to school… or if today’s a lunge-and-leave-it-alone situation. Mercury in retrograde? Probably explains that spook.

But beneath the laughs and astrology chaos, the episode takes a turn into something far more important, trigger stacking.
What really causes a horse to “lose it”? Is it actually the one thing that goes wrong… or is it the tenth sign we ignored because the bell rang and we were already entering at C?

The girls unpack how horses communicate stress, how often the warnings are there long before the explosion, and why pushing through “just one more thing” can sometimes be the final straw.

Funny, eye-opening and uncomfortably relatable, this episode might just change how you listen to your horse… and maybe the stars too.
