This episode of The Ride Podcast where we talk to Jordan Martin is brought to you by My New Horse
For Jordan Martin, a passion for horses that started with riding lessons as a child has grown into a promising career in the ranch horse industry. From competing in IEA and all-around events as a youth to earning a degree in horse sciences, Martin has built her experience by riding a wide variety of horses and learning from every opportunity along the way.
In this episode of The Ride, Martin talks about her path into the ranch riding and reining disciplines, her experience catch-riding horses through IEA and collegiate competition, and how those experiences taught her to stay confident and adaptable in the show pen. She also discusses the mentors who helped shape her as a rider and trainer.
Martin also breaks down her standout week at the Paint World Show with Magnums Gun, where the pair collected multiple ranch riding wins, including the Senior Ranch Riding, IRHA Ranch Riding, Triple Crown Ranch Riding Challenge and Green Ranch Riding. She explains how she prepared a horse she was still getting to know for the pressure of a major event, what made Magnum’s Gun such a natural fit for ranch riding and why his first impression in the arena helped set the tone for his winning performance.
