The Educated Cowgirl Podcast

Abby Carpenter launched The Educated Cowgirl Podcast with a clear mission: bridge the gaps between different corners of the horse industry and give people a place to learn across disciplines. Now in its third season with 40 episodes, the show has earned a perfect 5.0-star rating (admittedly from a small pool of 6 reviews) by consistently delivering thoughtful conversations with industry professionals. The guest list covers impressive ground. You get episodes on equine genetics and sports medicine sitting alongside conversations about the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, managing horse shows, building a brand as a western creative, and dealing with imposter syndrome in a competitive industry. The Whitney Lloyd episode on real cowgirl fitness was a great example of the show going somewhere unexpected and making it work. Episodes run 30 to 60 minutes and come out biweekly. What makes this show stand out is its focus on the professional side of the horse world, particularly for women building careers in equine industries. Abby is genuinely curious about her guests and asks questions that reveal the business realities, personal challenges, and career strategies behind the social media highlights. The Season 3 trailer dropped in early February 2026, promising more episodes ahead. If you are a young professional trying to figure out how to turn your passion for western horses into a career, this is the podcast speaking directly to you.
