Episode 43
Ryen Overlin

Back from Spring Break and diving right in, this week we sit down with Ryen — a veteran who completed an intensive horsemanship program created specifically for those who’ve served. In just five days, he went from learning the basics to confidently working down the fence, uncovering a passion he never expected. Today, that passion fuels him five days a week.

And it didn’t stop there. Ryen also discovered a love for craftsmanship, now creating custom bits and spurs in his home shop — another unexpected hobby sparked by his connection to horses.

Tune in to hear how a short program ignited a lifelong passion and a whole new direction.
