In this episode, I welcome Tricia Gilson of Sanger, California. She is the Horse Division Manager of Booth Ranches, as well as being the wife of Professional Horseman, Tracer Gilson, who trains reined cow horses and reiners . Tricia brings us very insightful information in regard to finances, raising children in the industry and remembering how to be a soft place to fall for your husband, in a world where you have to be double tough, most of the time.

Welcome to, The Trainer’s Wife. A podcast dedicated to celebrating the wives, and on occasion the husbands, of horse trainer’s in the western equine industry. For 35 years I’ve watched talented, successful, brave, beautiful women pour themselves into their husbands careers.These women not only manage and build his business, they manage and build their own as well, sometimes while trying to train and show horses themselves. Whether they are cheering for him from the stands, the back gate, their computer screen at work, or the kids basketball game, they rarely miss one of his go’s at a show. And when he’s done they have the ultimate task of supporting him with empathy, love and acceptance. They have to find the right words to fit each run, learn how to respond and not react, know when and how to offer constructive criticism or just sit in the quiet and let it be. This podcast is about exploring not only what these women bring to complex relationships, but how they continue to be strong, resilient and independent while not losing themselves or being swallowed by their husbands careers.
