Carrie Kehring Jan 07, 2022

Show notes

This week’s episode, sponsored by Purina, is with Carrie Kehring, the creator of the #WeRideTogether initiative.

The goal of #WeRideTogether is to target sexual misconduct and abuse in equestrian sport, including how these issues often are ignored, minimized or wrongly blamed on the victim. Carrie was inspired to start the campaign as a result of her own family’s experience with sexual misconduct in the sport. She wanted to create a place that promotes transparent and safe dialogue within the industry as well as give a voice to survivors and educate athletes, coaches and families.

Carrie tells us everything we need to know about the #WeRideTogether movement and what she hopes the organization will accomplish. She talks about the cultural change that must happen to diminish the stigma and fear of coming forward as well as the changes she’s seen thus far with the rising awareness about sexual misconduct in horse sports.

Erin Brown with the Philadelphia Urban Riding Academy Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

This week’s episode is with Erin Brown, aka, the Concrete Cowgirl. Erin is the Executive Director at the Philadelphia Urban Riding Academy (PURA)—a nonprofit organization created to preserve the life, legacy and culture of Black urban cowboys in the city of Philadelphia. Due to gentrification, many of the stables that once made up the community of Black cowboys in Philadelphia are gone. With the help of Parks and Recreation, PURA has found a new, permanent home that will not only give the Urban Black Cowboy a permanent home but also offer a unique, safe space for children, teens and adults to experience horses up close and personal. Also, in 2020, Erin and PURA teamed up with North Run's Missy Clark to create Concrete to Show Jumping—an alliance built on the goal of bringing inclusion and diversity to the horse industry.
