ABOUT THE WHOLE EQUESTRIAN

Our story so far...

Emily Hamel and Tyler Held met in the fall of 2017 when Tyler began working as a vet tech for Dr. Kevin Keane at Sports Medicine Associates of Chester County in West Grove, PA. Emily had been working for Phillip Dutton for two years, and since Kevin does the vet work for Phillip, Emily and Tyler began to develop a good working relationship. We soon realized we had a lot in common, like our passion for self-improvement through mindset, fitness, nutrition, and community.

Emily is an international 5-star level eventer who is the CEO of Emily Hamel Eventing, a boutique program that offers individualized training plans to bring out the best in each horse and rider to help them reach their goals. She is also a dedicated yoga, pilates, and meditation practitioner, personal development enthusiast, and plant-strong athlete based in Chester County, PA (April-December) and Aiken, SC (January-March).  

Tyler is a semi-retired professional 5-star groom, sport and performance psychology doctoral student and practitioner, a lifelong learner in the areas of mindset, positive thinking, and motivation, gym owner, and blue belt in  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu based in Chester County, PA.

Together, our mission is to promote health and happiness through our love of horses. We do this on our podcast by having conversations about being more well-rounded individuals via our pillars of mindset, fitness, nutrition, and community. We release one main episode monthly but have also had some exciting guests on the show. You can find us wherever you get your podcasts or visit our podcast page for links. We hope you will join us on this journey and enjoy the ride!
