The 3 Stride Podcast
A podcast that finds humor in the equestrian world. Hosted by three adult amateurs who love horses + like to dish on equestrian gossip. Laura Fernandez, who heads up a division at a top audio/tech company, Julia Hanssen, who works at an international influencer advertising agency, and Molly Heroy, who runs a successful e-commerce + mobile tack store; all with one thing in common; the passion for horses and the sport.
