Kanter Kulture
Welcome to the Kanter Kulture podcast, hosted by Ali Hubbell- an equestrian, mom, wife and creative that wants to invite you to an unconventional horse-related listening opportunity.
There's enough drama in the horse world...let's talk about something else! Think of our podcast this way: you just got done riding. Your horse is quietly munching hay in his stall. Grab a cocktail (or a mocktail!) and lets chat in the aisle about horses and anything horse related. Like what you hear?! Give us a follow or a share!
