Who We Are: Meet the Team Behind The Good Horse

Hey there! We're The Good Horse!

Okay, so you're probably wondering who's behind The Good Horse podcast! We're just two horse-obsessed friends who love nothing more than sharing our crazy adventures with you all. Grab a coffee (or hot chocolate!), and let's get to know each other!

 

Dolly's Corner 🏆

Meet Dolly - our resident showjumping queen and coffee connoisseur! When she's not hunting for vintage treasures or perfecting her latte art, you'll find her soaring over jumps and literally living the dream. She recently packed her boots and jetted off to France to train with the amazing Lucy Olphert (still not over it!) and has been making plans for her trip in the spring of 2025 to do it all over again, this time in Portugal. Talk about goals, right?

Want the full Dolly experience? You'll need:

  • A seriously aesthetic coffee cup 
  • Your favourite Pony Club pin collection
  • A passport ready for the next jumping adventure
  • The ability to spot a good vintage find from a mile away

Layla's World 🎵

Meet your go-to girl for literally everything from dressage tips to book recommendations! Layla's the one who always has the perfect song for every moment (seriously, test her!) and somehow manages to balance dressage training with rugby matches and snowboarding trips. How does she do it all? We're still trying to figure that out!

Layla's essentials:

  • A killer playlist for every occasion (yes, even for mucking stalls!)
  • The latest must-read book tucked in her boot bag
  • Rugby boots next to her dressage boots (because why not?)

How We Became Barn Besties

That's us in the front row at our very first Pony Club Quiz competition! 

Picture this: One girl who lives for the adrenaline rush of showjumping, another who's all about that dressage precision... who would've thought we'd end up being inseparable? But here we are, proving that the best friendships sometimes come from the most unexpected places!

We spend our days:

  • Recording podcast episodes (usually with way too many outtakes)
  • Supporting each other at competitions (yes, we're those loud cheerleaders!)
  • Planning our next adventures
  • Dreaming up ways to make the horse world even more awesome

Come Hang With Us!

Whether you're a showjumping enthusiast, dressage devotee, or just horse-crazy like us, we want you in our squad! We're all about building each other up and sharing the ups and downs of this crazy equestrian life.

Remember: your biggest competition is your last ride, and supporting other riders never goes out of style! (Also, we're always down to chat about horses, coffee, books, or really anything - just saying! )

 



P.S. If you see us at a show, please come and say hi! We love meeting fellow horse people (especially if you bring coffee... just kidding... kind of! )
