In this episode, Crysta and Erin visit with Lillian Evaniew-Phelan—an accomplished horsewoman whose influence stretches across every corner of the equine industry. Lillian holds an impressive 13 judging cards, bringing deep knowledge and perspective to competitors and exhibitors alike. She competes actively in the Western Dressage Association of America as well as AQHA Ranch events, blending precision and harmony in her training and show programs.

Lillian shares stories from her diverse career, including her experience importing horses from Germany, her work as a coach and clinician, and her passion for helping riders develop confidence and connection with their horses. She also shares about her commitment to being a positive, uplifting force in the equine community and how she strives to mentor and support through judging.

After a devastating trail practice accident at a horse show in 2020, Susan Miner wasn’t sure if or when she’d ever ride again. But in 2025, her determination and grit earned her the Tracy Larsen Inspirational Award at the Trophy Circuit — a powerful testament to her resilience and relentless hard work.

In this episode, Susan shares her journey of recovery, the positive mindset that carried her through, and how she’s reclaimed her place in the ring.

In this episode, we ride into the unique world of equestrian mental health with pre licensed professional Maddie Davis, whose practice is rooted in understanding the minds of horse riders as one herself. While Maddie works with a range of clients, her true specialty lies in helping equestrians overcome the mental blocks that hold them back.

What sets Maddie apart? She doesn’t just talk the talk—she’ll meet you at the barn, observe your lessons, and help you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Her approach is hands-on, empathetic, and tailored to the rider.

Based in the greater Seattle-Tacoma area, Maddie also offers telehealth sessions. To learn more or book a session, visit her online at Maddie Davis.
