    Kim Wickens: Author of National Bestseller "Lexington" | The Boundless Podcast

    What does it take to spend ten years bringing a forgotten legend back to life? In this episode of The Boundless Podcast, Dr. Ferrin Peterson sits down with author Kim Wickens, whose acclaimed book Lexington resurrected the story of one of the most influential Thoroughbreds in history. Before becoming an award-winning author, Kim spent two decades as a criminal defense attorney. What began as simple curiosity about a horse she'd never heard of soon became a decade-long pursuit that led her through archives, libraries, historic racetracks, and hundreds of primary sources. The result was a groundbreaking book that not only tells Lexington's story, but also shines a light on the remarkable people, horses, and forgotten chapters of American history connected to him. Kim shares the research process behind Lexington, the meaning of grit and perseverance, the parallels between practicing law and writing history, and why some of racing's most important stories have been lost to time. From Civil War-era Kentucky and legendary horsemen to overlooked pioneers like Abe Hawkins and Richard Ten Broeck, this conversation explores the power of determination, curiosity, and the responsibility of preserving history. Whether you're a fan of horse racing, history, writing, or simply chasing an ambitious dream, this episode is a reminder that extraordinary accomplishments often begin with a single question—and the grit to keep pursuing the answer.

    Sandy Hatfield: Breaking Barriers, Leading Stallions, and Building a Legacy Through Mentorship | Boundless

    Before women were allowed in the breeding shed, Sandy Hatfield was told where she couldn’t go.
She went anyway. In this episode of Boundless, Dr. Ferrin Peterson sits down with one of the most respected stallion managers in the Thoroughbred industry: a woman who built her career from the ground up, working with yearlings, mares, and putting in long hours on the farm before earning her place among the sport’s elite. Sandy shares her journey from growing up around quarter horses in Oklahoma to building a life in Kentucky, working at top farms, and eventually managing world-class stallions, including champions like Gun Runner. Her story isn’t just about horses. It’s about: • Breaking into a space where women were once not allowed • Earning respect through consistency, patience, and work ethic • Leading by example in one of the most demanding roles in racing • Mentoring the next generation and opening doors that once didn’t exist Sandy talks about the reality of working with stallions, the danger and discipline it requires, and why understanding both horses and people is the key to lasting success. She also shares the mindset that carried her through rejection, setbacks, and moments where the path forward wasn’t clear: show up, work hard, and when someone tells you no, find someone who says yes. This conversation is a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and what it really takes to build a life doing what you love. Where Limits End and Boundless Begins.

    Dr. Kayce Anderson: From One Goat to Developing Educated Communities | Boundless – Ferrin Peterson

    Dr. Kayce Anderson’s path didn’t follow the “straight line” we’re often promised. In this episode of Boundless, Ferrin Peterson sits down with Kayce—scientist, conservationist, and the heart behind For the Good—to unpack how rejection, resilience, and a deep respect for community shaped a mission that’s changing lives in rural Kenya. Kayce shares how For the Good began with a simple but massive barrier: many girls miss school during puberty because they don’t have access to menstrual hygiene products. What started as providing reusable sanitary pads—paired with reproductive health education—evolved into something even larger: enrolling out-of-school students (most of them girls) and partnering with Maasai communities in Narok County to build local, affordable secondary schools. You’ll hear why humility matters more than “having the answers,” what it really takes to earn trust with elders and educators, and how sustainable impact is built through shared ownership—sometimes literally one goat at a time. Kayce breaks down the community-matching model that funds these schools, the patience required to work at the “pace of the earth,” and why education is both a lifeline and a tool for preserving culture and protecting land rights. This conversation is a powerful reminder that real change isn’t fast, flashy, or imposed—it’s relational, community-led, and built to last. Learn more or support For the Good: ForTheGood.org

    In this episode, Ferrin sits down with Bill Casner to trace an incredible life built on horses—from a 15-year-old hustling for $1 gallops at Sunland Park to the highest levels of Thoroughbred racing. Bill shares the gritty early days on the backside, a humbling attempt at riding races that gave him lifelong respect for jockeys, and how the racetrack became a “magical” place that shaped his whole future. At the heart of the conversation is legacy: the devastating loss of his daughter Karri, and the extraordinary story of Well Armed—the colt born on her birthday the following year—who overcame major injuries and became a Dubai World Cup champion through an unforgettable rehab journey. It’s a powerful look at ambition, heartbreak, resilience, and how horses can carry us through everything—while inspiring Bill’s mission to give back through scholarships and opportunities for racetrack and farm families.

Andres lives the life most people only see from the stands. Early mornings. Missed parties. Sacrificed hobbies. All in service to the horses he loves — braiding manes with pride, grooming with care, always showing up with heart. He’s proof that passion can become purpose, and purpose can take you places you never imagined. This is a story of grit, devotion, and a life shaped by the animals who gave him wings.
A story that embodies Boundless.

    Andres Martínez: De Tijuana a Dubái — El Viaje Global de un Capataz en las Carreras

    En el segundo episodio de la temporada dos, nos acompañó Andrés Martínez, el capataz del establo de Doug O’Neill. Su historia demuestra lo lejos que te pueden llevar los cabellos. 
Andrés empezó con raíces muy humildes en Tijuana, Mexico: largas jornadas en el establo, siempre trabajando y cuidando los caballos, aprendiendo no de libros, sino de sudor, paciencia e instinto. Su dedicación le abrió puertas con las que solo unos sueñan. Antes de mucho, los caballos que cuidaba lo llevaron a Churchill Downs, Japón, Dubái y a hipódromos por todo el mundo. Andrés vive la vida que la mayoría solo ve desde las graderías. Madrugadas. Fiestas perdidas. Pasatiempos sacrificados. Todo al servicio de los caballos que ama — trenzando crines con orgullo, acicalando con esmero, presentándose siempre con el corazón en la mano. Es prueba de que la pasión puede convertirse en propósito, y que el propósito puede llevarte a lugares que nunca imaginaste.
Esta es una historia de coraje, entrega y una vida moldeada por los animales que le dieron alas.
Una historia que encarna Boundless.
