What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The Plaidcast is the best equestrian podcast! The guests are diverse, so the show covers many facets of the industry. The conversations are very engaging and are both entertaining and educational. As a junior rider who aspires to be a professional in the industry, the Plaidcast is one of my go-to resources!

Skylyr_08 · May 2026

I searched for years to find a good podcast so satisfy my equestrian brain. Finally finding The Plaidcast was like a breath of fresh air! The show is always on while I’m working in the barn doing stalls, waters, and makes body clipping a little more bearable. I recommend this show for any rider that is ambitious to learn from areas of the industry and hear from a diverse group of guests.

Reese Capri · May 2026

The Plaidcast is an incredible resource for riders at any level! Great guests, fun host, and always provides relevant and interesting topics! If you love horses and the community, give this a listen!

Dev2343 · Dec 2025

A fantastically hosted podcast which gives an in-depth look into multiple facets of the industry. Piper does a great job interviewing top professionals which gives those who may not have the resources to access their training a way to still gain knowledge and hear their insight on so many different topics. Highly suggested to any equestrian who wants to grow their knowledge!
