Uncinched: The Unfiltered Horse Podcast
Welcome to Uncinched, the unfiltered horse podcast you didn’t know you needed. Hosted by Stable Instincts & QualiTea Equine, this show is your backstage pass to the real, raw, and hilarious world of working with horses.
We started Uncinched because, like a lot of horse people, we were craving honest conversations. The horse industry is full of incredible highs and gut-wrenching lows, and too often, those tough, gritty, or awkward moments get left out of the spotlight. So, we decided to create a space where nothing’s off-limits.
Expect thought-provoking conversations, moments that make you belly laugh, and stories that remind you why you fell in love with horses in the first place. We’ll be sitting down with all different kinds of industry professionals in the horse world who all bring something valuable to the table.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional, hobbyist, or just horse-obsessed, Uncinched is here to entertain, educate, and maybe challenge the way you think. Our goal is to hand you a few new tools for your mental, emotional, and horsemanship toolbox — and to remind you that you’re not alone in this wild ride.
So, take a deep breath and let's Uncinch what's happening in the horse world!!

Let's Chat! You know we love to talk...
In this Guest in the Saddle episode of Uncinched, we sit down with Melody Garner-Skiba of Rocking Heart Ranch and go down the rabbit hole (our favourite thing to do)!!
From the romanticization of horse life to tsocial media changing the horse landscape, we have an honest conversation about why transparency matters now more than ever. Melody shares her perspective on why breeding horses is, at its core, a business that needs to be approached with integrity, responsibility, and clear standards. We also break down key red flags to watch for when working with a breeder, helping buyers make more informed decisions. Beyond the business side, we talk about legacy and what Melody hopes Rocking Heart Ranch will ultimately be known for. (Hint: it’s not just about the horses… it’s about being good people.)
