While my quest is not to change the world my inspiration is to help influence and motivate people like myself with stories from those individuals who have helped change me.
In this episode, we sit down with Amy Faison and Kristen Schuitema—professional riders for Pastured Place, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to thoroughbred aftercare. These two women are the embodiment of hard work and heart, making it no small feat to steal even an hour of their time.
Though a technical glitch -meant my mic wasn’t working (huge apologies!), I couldn’t bring myself to scrap this recording. What Amy and Kristen share here is too powerful to lose—raw, real, and incredibly inspiring. From life in the saddle to the deeper mission of giving retired racehorses a second chance, this conversation is gold.
We hope to revisit this chat with a retake or a reflection episode at the end of 2025, but for now, let Amy and Kristen’s passion speak for itself.
