Horses, Potatoes, and Adventures in Iceland: Is Heather Even Meant to Ride?

Heather and Natalie dive into the unexpected challenges of equestrian adventures, particularly during Heather’s recent trip to Iceland. From tech mishaps to the trials of riding a particularly wide horse, their conversation is both humorous and relatable.

The episode kicks off with a lighthearted exchange about the absurdities of AI giving personal advice to Natalie.

Heather describes her recent tour in Iceland, where she found herself leading a group of riders of all skill levels. “It was like an adrenaline rush, such a good group of people,” she shares. However, day two brought unexpected challenges when she encountered a horse that was a bit too wide for comfort.

The Dangers of Riding a Potato

Heather humorously refers to her horse as a “potato” due to its wide saddle, which led to some intense muscle spasms. “I was struggling to breathe… my muscles locked up,” she recalls. The conversation shifts to the broader issue of horse breeding, with Natalie chiming in about the discomfort that wide horses can cause for riders.
