This episode of The Ride Podcast where we talk to Abbie Phillips is brought to you by Farnam.
Abbie Phillips grew up riding horses on her family’s ranch, helping gather cattle and spending countless hours in the saddle long before she ever stepped into the reined cow horse arena. What began as a love for horses eventually evolved into a successful competitive career, culminating in a bold decision to leave the non-pro ranks behind and pursue life as a professional trainer and competitor.
In this episode of The Ride, Phillips reflects on the experiences that led her to the sport, from riding her first cow horse as a teenager to competing on some of the industry’s biggest stages. She shares how a pivotal career decision opened new opportunities, why she was drawn to the versatility and horsemanship required in reined cow horse competition, and what it has been like building a program alongside her husband, Kelby.
