What it actually takes to build a life in horses from scratch with Steph Dunnachie

*Most people who love horses dream about a life built entirely around them. Steph Dunnachie is actually living it.* Growing up with non horsey parents in suburban Melbourne, Steph had no connections, no blueprint, and no shortcuts. What she did have was an obsession that never went away and the drive to turn it into something real. Today she runs Lancefield Bloodstock with her partner Mitch from their property in Merton, Victoria. Training, coaching, sales, buyers advocacy, and a community around her that she is genuinely proud of. But the road to get there wound through riding schools, cattle ranches in California, the racing industry, the Australian Brumby Challenge, and competitive reining at a national level. In this episode Steph gets really honest about what it takes to survive in this industry, how you keep going when it's hard, how you set boundaries in a business that is also your whole life, and why despite everything, it is absolutely worth it. She gave some of the most practical and grounding advice we've had on the podcast so far. This one will stay with you. Listen now via the link in bio. 🎙️
