Episode Notes

This week, we are treated to Part 2 of my conversation with the incredible Stefanie Putnam of Oldham County. Stefanie has had a life-long passion for horses, and has never been forced to abandon this passion, despite a 2009 spinal cord injury! This week, we learn about Stefanie's experience with service dogs, and the fascinating means by which these dogs have assisted her within and outside the realm of horse competition. We also dive into her competitive carriage driving pursuits, including the honorable opportunity to represent our country at the 2016 Para-Driving World Championship in the Netherlands. Finally, she discusses her proud affiliation with the Kentucky chapter of Canine Companions, and offers a carriage driving sales pitch for those seeking their niche in para-sport competition.
