Every horse person knows the paddock gate.

It's where the vet pulls up, new horses arrive, and old horses leave. Where plans are made, dreams are shared, and hard news is delivered.

The Paddock Gate was created to bring those conversations to life.

Hosted by Nikita Hillier, an equine therapist and the founder of Crown Equine Solutions, this podcast explores the stories behind the horses.

Each month, The Paddock Gate brings together horse people from across the industry to talk honestly about the parts of horse life we don't always speak about openly. From grief, identity, and burnout to confidence, competition, relationships, and the extraordinary horses who shape our lives, no topic is off limits.

Whether you're a lifelong horse owner, a weekend rider, a professional, or simply someone whose life has been changed by a horse, you'll find a place here.

Because horse life is about so much more than riding.

It's about the people we become because of the horses we love.

Welcome to The Paddock Gate.

You're in good company.
