The Long Ride Home
Welcome to The Long Ride Home, a podcast about American Saddlebreds — and the people whose lives are shaped by them.
Hosted by Alex Husner, a rider returning to the sport after 26 years away, this show explores what it means to find your way back to something that once defined you.
Through honest conversations with riders, trainers, and leaders in the American Saddlebred world, we dive into the stories behind the horses, the traditions of the sport, and the moments that shape both horse and human.
Because sometimes the path forward… is the long ride home.
