A lot can change in four years. In this episode of the ICONEQ Podcast, host Laura St Clair catches up with Emily Juchser Miles and Michael Bragdell, two respected horse professions whose lives and careers have taken very different turns since they last sat down together. 

Emily talks candidly about burnout, the decision to step away from the career she had built, and ultimately choosing a different path -- one that brought her back into her professional life on her own terms. Michael shares his own update as Hilltop Farm closes, and the impacts that have shaped his life over the past several years.

Then we go back to where it began.

This episode also includes the original 2022 Young Horse Training conversation Laura recorded with Emily and Michael for the American Hanoverian Society Podcast -- presented here with thanks and full credit to the AHS.

Four years later, the training conversation still resonates. But so does something bigger: careers evolve, priorities shift, we make difficult choices, and sometimes changing direction is part of moving forward.
