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!

Ep 36- Yes, they Rode While Pregnant: Blair Townsend & Samantha Aderhold
Motherhood Meets Horse Life: A 3-Part Podcast Series
Being a mom is hard.
Being a horse girl is hard.
Being both? That’s a whole different level of chaos, grit, and humor.
In this three-part podcast series, we’re getting real about what it looks like to juggle motherhood and life in the horse world — whether you’re an amateur, a professional, or a trainer whose job doesn’t stop just because your body is doing something wild.
This series is for:
- Horse girls who became moms
- Moms who never stopped being horse girls
- Trainers who rode through pregnancy
- Riders who wondered “how the hell do you do both?”
🎙 Episode 1: Trainer Moms Tell All
Guests: Blair Townsend & Samantha Aderhold
This first episode kicks things off with humor, honesty, and zero sugar-coating. Blair and Samantha — both professional horse trainers — share the good, the bad, and the ugly of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the realities of trying to ride, work, and train while growing a human.
We talk about:
- Riding while pregnant (yes, really)
- The physical and emotional changes nobody warns you about
- Trainer guilt, barn responsibilities, and setting boundaries
- Laugh-out-loud moments and very real “why did nobody tell me this?” stories
It’s raw, funny, slightly unhinged, and extremely relatable — especially for women who live a physically demanding horse life.
This episode sets the tone for the series and opens the door to deeper conversations in Episodes 2 and 3, which explore motherhood in the horse world from additional perspectives you won’t want to miss.
👉 This is a series meant to be listened to start-to-finish.
