Horse&Rider's The Ride

The Ride comes from the editorial team behind Horse&Rider Magazine, one of the most respected names in western riding media. Co-hosted by editor Nichole Chirico, digital editor Devin Conley, and more recently Emily Carey, it drops biweekly episodes that profile trainers, competitors, and equine professionals shaping the western industry today. What sets this show apart is its access. These are not random interviews -- Horse&Rider has decades of relationships in the western horse world, and it shows. You get sit-downs with million-dollar riders like Peter DeFretias, ranch sorting specialists like Kody Ward, and cow horse competitors like Tuli Dowers. The conversations go deep into training philosophies, career paths, and the realities of making a living with horses. Episodes typically run 40 to 60 minutes, long enough to get substance without dragging. With 194 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from 27 reviews, the show has built a loyal following among serious western riders. The hosts ask smart questions and let their guests talk, which means you actually learn something instead of just hearing the same surface-level stories. If you are into ranch riding, reining, cow horse, or any western discipline and want to hear from the people actually doing it at the highest level, The Ride delivers consistently.
