Who are those weirdos?
Show Notes Chapter Markers

What kind of weirdo would think it’s a good idea to ride a horse all over the country?  

And what kind of horse would be willing and able to go along with that idea?

This episode seeks to answer these two frequently asked questions. Learn about Meredith’s horse life that prepared her for the journey, and her domestic violence story that motivated the journey. We’ll also discuss Apollo’s origin story, and how he found his way to Meredith. 

Listen weekly as Meredith and Apollo share about their multi-year 48-state journey (The Centauride), talk with interesting guests, and discuss the realities of domestic abuse.

About our guest:

In December of 2018, Nicole Rouhselang’s stepdaughter Breana was sexually assaulted and then murdered by a classmate, in a tragic case of teen dating violence. She was only 17.  Since then, Nicole has been speaking out about this all-too-common but little-discussed aspect of domestic violence.
