Piper Klemm

In this second episode in our special HRN Host Series, Helena welcomes Piper Klemm, publisher of The Plaid Horse Magazine.

Piper didn’t start out her career in horses the way many equestrians do. She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, but just two years later, she started The Plaid Horse magazine, and since then it’s been a whirlwind of passion, ponies, and podcasts. In addition to her work at the helm of her equestrian media empire, Piper is an active member of the hunter/jumper community, owning a fleet of lease ponies, and showing her own horse in adult hunter divisions. Piper’s goal is for everyone to become as educated about horsemanship and hunter/jumper sports as possible.

In this episode, Helena chats with Piper to talk about how she keeps her lease ponies safe and happy while doing their jobs in various homes throughout the U.S. Listen in!

The saying goes: “If you ask ten different horse people how to do something, you will get 10 different answers.” Well, Helena decided to put that adage to the test and ask ten different horse people their opinions about what qualifies for happy horse keeping.

The ten people happen to be her Horse Radio Network colleagues–all horse professionals in some way shape or form, and all with a similar horse-first philosophy when it comes to keeping, training, and competing their horses.

And while each episode in this series aims to address the same set of questions, the conversations go in their own directions. That’s what makes horse people so fun to talk to; you never know quite where the discussion will lead, so listen in!
