Season 3: Episode 4- Navigating the Equestrian World in the Age of Social Media

In this honest and engaging conversation, Brianna Hammerman, LPC, Lisa Weiss, LCSW and Rylee Cudney dive into how social media is shaping the world of equestrian culture — for better and for worse. They open up about their own experiences and share real stories from the community, exploring how platforms like Instagram and TikTok fuel both inspiration and unhealthy comparison. From the pressure to present a perfect riding life to the emotional toll it can take, especially on younger equestrians, they unpack the mental health side of being online. With warmth and insight, they also offer thoughtful advice on how to use social media more mindfully — without losing your love for the ride.
