Beyond the Barn

26-09-2023 • 1 hr 8 mins

On this episode, co-host Katy Starr chats with horse trainer and back country pilot, Lena Haug, about her multi-worldly equine adventures, mainly surrounding her time competing in the longest and toughest horse race in the world, the Mongol Derby.

She shares about being completely immersed in the honorable Mongolian culture, self-navigating horses who are racing at top speed - all the while dodging military fields and wild dogs - getting kicked in the face from an unintentional dismount, only to get immediately back on for what felt like a rocket headed to space.

With adventure in her veins, Lena’s ambitious pursuits are not for the faint of heart. Live vicariously through her trials and exhilarations in this captivating episode.
