Welcome back to The Adventure Paradox! Get ready for an exciting journey into the world of wild horses with Lisa Dierson, founder of the Equus Film Festival. This week, we're diving into the Mustang Summit and learning all about wild horses in the creative field, and on the land.

But that's not all! Lisa, a true pioneer in equine-assisted therapy, will share her story and how she got involved in founding the Equus Film Festival. We'll also hear about her role as an executive director and the amazing documentaries she's produced, shedding light on the incredible American Mustangs and their impact on our lives.

As we explore Lisa's personal journey, be prepared for heartwarming tales of her beloved Lusitano gelding and the joys of breeding these remarkable creatures. From the magic of foal births to the deep bonds formed with rehabilitated Mustangs, every moment is a testament to Lisa's unwavering dedication and love for horses.

But wait, there's more! We'll also delve into the power of storytelling and how it can touch our hearts and minds, leaving a lasting impression on our souls. You will not want to miss the story about the mother and foal who experienced loss around birth time, and, thanks to humans (including Lisa), were able to find the love they needed.

So, join us for an unforgettable adventure with Lisa Dierson, where passion meets purpose and every moment is filled with the spirit of the wild. Only on The Adventure Paradox Podcast!
