Uncinched
Welcome to Uncinched, the unfiltered horse podcast you didn’t know you needed. Hosted by Stable Instincts & QualiTea Equine, this show is your backstage pass to the real, raw, and hilarious world of working with horses.
We started Uncinched because, like a lot of horse people, we were craving honest conversations. The horse industry is full of incredible highs and gut-wrenching lows, and too often, those tough, gritty, or awkward moments get left out of the spotlight. So, we decided to create a space where nothing’s off-limits.
Expect thought-provoking conversations, moments that make you belly laugh, and stories that remind you why you fell in love with horses in the first place. We’ll be sitting down with all different kinds of industry professionals in the horse world who all bring something valuable to the table.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional, hobbyist, or just horse-obsessed, Uncinched is here to entertain, educate, and maybe challenge the way you think. Our goal is to hand you a few new tools for your mental, emotional, and horsemanship toolbox — and to remind you that you’re not alone in this wild ride.
So, take a deep breath and let's Uncinch what's happening in the horse world!!

Let's Get Physical
Let's Chat! You know we love to talk...
In this episode, we dive into the routines, habits, and mindsets that keep both horses and riders fit, happy, and ready for the work ahead. From building simple, effective fitness plans to the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs—especially in Western Canada’s unpredictable weather—we’re breaking down what it takes to support your horse’s body and your own.
We’ll chat about going at your horse’s pace (not just your own timeline), how rider fitness directly impacts horse soundness, and why self-love and body acceptance are vital parts of the journey. Plus, we’re sharing a companion digital product—our Horse + Rider Fitness Planner—that helps you create routines and track your progress.
This episode is about partnership, not perfection. Because when you take care of yourself, you take care of your horse.
