Serving in the military for over a decade, Venita has to balance serving her country and caring for her horses. After spending 2 years in Japan, she has come back to compete and train with her Tennessee Walking Horses. As a wife and a mom, she has navigated the horse industry through trial and error finding horses and disciplines she is passionate about and making her lane as a competitor in her discipline. 

In this episode, Venita shares her experiences having horses at home, showing flat shod and performance walking horses and the importance of knowing the health atmosphere in your area when showing horses consistently.

We introduced a new segment to our show this episode called “The Derby Round”! The Derby Round is a lightening round of this-or-that questions centered around horses! We hope you enjoy it!
