Kate and Kathleen - A podcast about humans and horses
Kathleen Lindley Beckham and Kate Sandel are two women who like to talk about horses. We both work with horses and people one of us in the USA and one in the UK. We are endlessly fascinated about this subject and talk frequently about what's on our minds.
Join us as we share with you conversations we have as friends about a life alongside equine. What does it mean to us and to others, what's in it for the horse? And maybe, just maybe, there may be some of those old lessons for life along the way.
We are bound to invite the odd guest to join us too....
