Unbridled Conversations: The Unstable Equine Podcast
Welcome to Unbridled Conversations: The Unstable Equine Podcast, where equestrians come together to champion the well-being of the true heart of our sport—the horse. Hosted by Hannah, a passionate equine nutrition expert and founder of EquiPacs, and Charlotte, a quick-witted eventer and livery yard manager, this podcast blends heartfelt advocacy with relatable stories and expert insights.
At Unbridled Conversations, we’re here for the horses. Our mission is to champion their care, amplify their voice in every corner of equestrian sport, and inspire positive change within our community. Through thoughtful education, myth-busting advice, and unfiltered tales from the yard, we strive to create a space where no one feels alone in their equestrian journey.
Whether you’re navigating the challenges of horse ownership, questioning industry norms, or just looking for some mucking out laughs, this podcast is your place to connect, learn, and grow. Together, we’re challenging the status quo, demanding better for our sport, and ensuring that our horses remain front and center in everything we do.
So, saddle up for Unbridled Conversations. It’s time to ride together, speak up, and make a difference for our equine partners—one episode at a time.

59: What is Love to a Horse?

What is love… to a horse?
It’s our Valentine’s Day special and this week we’re talking about the real loves of our lives (sorry Louis and Louis 👀).
But beneath the roses and romance, Charlotte throws out a question that properly stops us in our tracks…
Do our horses actually love us?
Do they care that they’re dressed head to toe in the best kit?
Do they care that their bed has an extra bale of shavings?
Do they appreciate the daily mud baths, the supplements, the matching sets, the 6am starts?
Or are we projecting a very human version of love onto an animal that experiences the world completely differently?
This episode dives into what love might really look like from a horse’s perspective. Safety? Consistency? Comfort? Fairness? Herd? Routine? Or are we simply the tall feed dispensers with opposable thumbs?
It’s thoughtful, it’s a little uncomfortable, it’s very Valentine’s coded and it might just change the way you think about your relationship with your horse.
