Mile High Rescue – The Ride Podcast [00:00:00] Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the ride podcast. I'm Michaela, I'm Nicole. And for this episode, we are sitting down with mile high risk you based out of the Denver area. And they are really doing a lot of cool things with their rescue because they aren't just rescuing horses and putting them up for adoption. They are giving these horses. A new career and new chance at life, setting them up for success. And then [00:01:00] bringing in youth and adults who wants to learn and educating them on the rescue horses and giving lessons. So they can be paired up with these rescue horses and go on for another wife, with a new owner. Yeah. I really loved getting to know, uh, Maria and Emily, who are the founders of mile high rescue. You know, I think what really connected with me is that they both have Porsche backgrounds. So they came from this very intense, you know, high competition industry where people spend a lot of money to have these top horses. And they somehow, uh, found their way into the rescue industry, which, you know, essentially these are horses who may have been show horses or had careers that ended up in these. You know, lots and, and just they're able to see that right. Potential even when they're not in the best of shape or the best of health. And they know that they can take these horses and find a job for them or find a [00:02:00] person who's going to take care of them. And so I just, I really love that they came from that competition background, but then they, you know, saw a different side of the horse industry and decided that that was going to be their career path. Yeah, it was, it was really interesting to talk to them and hear about that because a lot of times you hear about rescues and I explained this kind of in the podcast, but it's just rescue a horse and it's just a casual horse owner that just kind of. Feeds them and cares for them, but doesn't really train them. Whereas Maria and Emily have that skill set to just set these horses up for success. And I think that that is a huge thing that is covered within this episode and highly talked about and has made them one of my new favorite rescues. Yeah. And we're so lucky that they are close by. So my Kayla and I are planning on going out there in the spring. One, just, you know, the, the mud has dried [00:03:00] a little so that we can do some photos there and just get to know everybody a little more. Um, they, another thing that I really love about them is that they're trying to do clinics and, you know, just events and, and getting all these kids involved with these horses and adults. Uh, so we're going to try and, you know, maybe partake in some of those and just. You know, get to meet everybody and see a different side of the horse industry. But I think we're planning an Instagram takeover with them sometime soon. Um, so we'll have to keep everybody in the loop there so they can kind of get more of a behind the scenes, uh, view of what mile high rescue is, but we really love them. Uh, Monique Potts, who's our horse and rider on demand expert is the one who introduced me to Emily. One of the owners. And, um, yeah, no, I'm super excited to have them part of this part of our team and, and just, you know, part of the podcast. Yeah. And so you kind of mentioned a current event that I wanted to chat a little bit about, and that's the fact that we've added [00:04:00] some new experts to horse and rider on demand. And it's super exciting. I love being able to watch all of these new trainers and all of the new topics that we're covering. So yeah, Monique is one of our latest additions and she has a podcast episode that we've done with her. Before we've done articles with her. She's been on the cover and now she's one of our experts. Yeah, Monique is a really, it's really exciting to have her part of the team because she's young, you know, she's upcoming in the industry. She has a really, really strong background in the natural horsemanship, which is something that she likes to work with and, um, cover. So most of our videos are natural horsemanship base. Uh, but she also has a really great background of showing. So I love that she's able to kind of take that natural horsemanship and combine it into performance, horse elements. She shows cow horses and she shows as well. And, [00:05:00] uh, so I, it was super good, excited to have her part of the team. Uh, growing up, she worked with buck Brandman a lot, and that's a really huge name, especially in the more natural horsemanship. Industry, uh, and the, but she's also written with Don Murphy. Who's, you know, known as like the grandfather of cow horse. So she really does have a, a really extensive background and her mom Janie , you know, they own Channing little Nick, a very, very well-known power stud. And, and so she works with babies, dressage horses, cow horses, you know, trail horses, and, and I'm just really excited to bring this new. Kind of T series to on demand because we love button Brad and there are still going to be lots of more button Brad videos to come out, but we were also really excited to kind of have a new discipline to cover for, you know, people who, who like that kind of stuff. Yeah. We had a lot of requests for that kind of stuff. And then. We also had some more [00:06:00] requests for ranch, versatility type stuff. So that's coming through the pipeline. We have more barrel racing content with Molly pal and her episode of the ride podcast was taken very well. So hopefully you guys will love her barrel racing, training videos, and then we're also branching into cutting and getting some very well-known trainers there. So it's just. Every single week, we are going to be coming out with a lot more new, great videos. That will be very helpful to anybody who rides, no matter what discipline you ride, whether you're trail riding or barrel racing, you can use all of it. I promise. So you kind of mentioned the ranch horse, versatility stuff. Cody Crow is going to be our expert for that. He's. He's heavily involved in the industry, but, uh, it was really great timing on our end because AQE, Jay has just approved ranch trail as an event in quarter-horse competition. So I think we're gonna see [00:07:00] a huge, like jump in entries for that kind of stuff, because the ranch riding is so crazy popular. Uh, and they've done, like, at some of the AKJ shows they've done like trail steak classes that, you know, they don't, the points don't count for AQH or anything like that, but they were really, really well done and I think people are really enjoying it. So, um, yeah, I'm super excited that we're going to have this ranch, versatility series coming out because what great timing with AQH just announcing that ranch trail is an official class. Yeah. And then. Even more exciting news is we go to print with this magazine, the print magazine. Next week. So we are busy, busy, busy, working away trying to get this print magazine ready for you guys. So we are doing all the things I promised between the podcast and ons man, and the print magazine. We're trying to give you everything that you want and more. To learn [00:08:00] and live your best Western horse lie. Something else to look forward to. And I believe they start coming out the week after this podcast is launched, but work Schiller, who everybody knows and loves. And who's been a long time friend and contributor of horse and rider is doing a little audio lesson series a I believe there's going to be six of them. And, uh, so those will come out every other week and he's going to break down some of his most frequently asked questions and cover, you know, really good topics that people are constantly having issues with. So be on the lookout for that. It's coming out soon. We're super excited about it because, um, to this day, the work podcast is. Um, insane compared to all the other people that we've talked to. And so we know that you guys like, or we like work, we're really excited to bring this to you. Yeah. As we are excited to bring this interview to you. So I think we'll dive on into this [00:09:00] interview, which is the first of season three.
