Sit down with the unstoppable Erin Taormino — the first woman to ever win the prestigious NRCHA World's Greatest Horseman title. Recorded just weeks after her historic victory, Erin reflects on the horses that carried her to the top, the lessons they taught her, and the unwavering confidence she had to build in both herself and her horses.

Erin takes us back to her roots, starting in 4-H and competing as an all-around rider. From showmanship to western riding, those early years laid the foundation for the versatile, gritty horsewoman she is today. She shares the stories of the horses that shaped her — those that tested her patience, those that made her better, and those that became once-in-a-lifetime partners.

This episode is for anyone who appreciates what it takes to chase a dream.
