Journalist Ashley Ahearn gave up the city life when she and her husband moved to the rural sagebrush country of Washington state. And things took a significant turn when she opted to adopt a wild mustang named Boo.

She brought her recorder with her and began documenting her time training Boo, which led her into an exploration into the world of Mustangs.

That journey is chronicled in her new podcast called Mustang, which is out now. Ashely sat down with Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about her very personal and now, quite professional, passion.
