Today we welcome Charleigh Arnold onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ From theatre studies and retail to full-time dairy farming and professional dog training, Charleigh’s journey is a masterclass in embracing change and following passion. With a background far from agriculture, she’s now thriving in the field—literally—with cows by day and gundogs by weekend! 🐄🐶

We chat about her leap from managing River Island to walking dogs, training them, and eventually working with shooting dogs on the field. Her deep love for her spaniel Summer led her to train dogs not just to behave, but to work. Her insight into beat lines, scent training, and shooting culture adds real depth to this episode. 🐾🎯

Charleigh is the embodiment of why this podcast began—someone who didn’t grow up in farming but found her place in it through passion and persistence. From her first milking shift to ploughing solo and navigating life on two dairy farms, she brings honesty, humour, and a whole lot of heart. 🚜✨

We also explore social media, where Charleigh—aka @charlieanita—has built a loyal following with relatable content and authentic brand partnerships. Her engaging nature and genuine love for farming and animals make her one to watch and a perfect guest on the R2Kast! 📱💬

Enjoy! 😊

Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.
