About this listen

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!!

    Guest In the Saddle: Mesa Pate (Art of the Cowgirl)
    Feb 12 2026

    Let's Chat! You know we love to talk...

    In this seasons opening Guest in the Saddle episode, we sit down with Mesa Pate from Art of the Cowgirl.

    Born and raised in Montana’s ranching community, Mesa’s life has always revolved around horses, hard work, and heritage. From hauling bucking bulls on the PBR circuit to helping build Art of the Cowgirl alongside her late mother, Tammy Pate, Mesa shares what it’s been like to step into leadership, honor legacy, and continue creating a space where women, horses, and culture are celebrated.

    We talk about who Mesa is beyond the event, and how the Art of the Cowgirl is meant to be a gathering rooted in connection, confidence, and tradition.

    🎟 Art of the Cowgirl takes place February 24–28 at Rancho Rio in Wickenburg, Arizona.

  • Chronically a Horse Lover: Chronic Illness & Redefining Showing Up

    Chronically a Horse Lover: Chronic Illness & Redefining Showing Up
    Dec 18 2025

    Let's Chat! You know we love to talk...

    This episode sits in the tender, quieter corners of horse ownership, the ones we don’t want to talk about because it's hard and vulnerable. We’re unpacking what it feels like to love horses while living with illness and invisible battles. Through Britain's personal lens we are chatting about navigating health setbacks and redefining what “showing up” looks like. This is a reminder that everyone at the barn is carrying something so choose to show up with kindness
