  • After 26 Years Away: Finding My Way Back to American Saddlebreds
    2026/03/24

    In the very first episode of The Long Ride Home, Alex Husner shares the deeply personal story behind her return to the American Saddlebred world after 26 years away.

    From her final memory of walking out of Freedom Hall at 15 years old to the moment she realized it was finally time to come back, this episode is about far more than horses. It is about identity, timing, courage, and what happens when something that shaped you never fully lets you go.

    Alex opens up about growing up in the Saddlebred industry, stepping away from the sport, and building a full life and career before finding her way back to the barn. She also shares how that return began to take shape, from researching barns and building a budget to finding her trainer, Andrea Harry of Meraki Farm, and ultimately purchasing her new young horse, Son of a Kiss, barn name Chapstick.

    This episode also introduces the heart behind the podcast itself. The Long Ride Home is not only about Alex’s return to the saddle. It is about the people, stories, and future of the American Saddlebred industry. Through honest conversations with riders, trainers, breeders, and returning amateurs, the show aims to honor where people come from while exploring what still calls them forward.

    Whether you have been part of this world for years, are finding your way back to it, or are simply curious about the people and passion behind it, this is where the journey begins.
