Welcome back to RRP Trainer Chronicles, an OTTB on Tap Original Series following the riders and retrainers headed to the 2025 Thoroughbred Makeover. In this episode, we're talking dressage, Thoroughbreds, and that all-important seat with Harley Whittaker of HW Dressage in Kirkwood, Pennsylvania.Harley didn't grow up in a horsey family, but she's built a thriving training business rooted in thoughtful, individualized care—and a belief that OTTBs absolutely belong in the dressage ring. She introduces us to her Makeover partner Juancho (aka “Jack”), shares what she looks for in a dressage prospect, and walks us through the early days of training a horse fresh off the track.We chat about visualization, confidence-building, ulcer prevention, and why pulling back is not the answer. Whether you're new to OTTBs, curious about dressage, or just here to root for a great horse and rider team—you'll love this candid and inspiring conversation.

In this first full trainer episode of our 2025 RRP Trainer Chronicles series, we're joined by Stephanie Parkot, a dedicated adult amateur and mom of three from Corfu, New York, who's making her Thoroughbred Makeover debut with a gelding she calls “the right horse at the right time.”Stephanie's Makeover partner is Sterling Honor, a striking son of Honor Code, adopted through New Vocations. Together, they're preparing to compete in Competitive Trail and Dressage—and doing it all while balancing barn time with the demands of family life. Stephanie shares what drew her to off-track Thoroughbreds in the first place, the emotional rollercoaster of returning a previous adoption, and how she found the confidence to try again.She talks candidly about the realities of retraining a Thoroughbred in the dead of a New York winter, the importance of tailoring your program to your lifestyle, and how she's approaching the 2025 RRP Makeover with a mindset centered not on perfection, but on partnership and progress. One of her guiding philosophies? “Flexible consistency”—knowing when to adjust your expectations without losing sight of the goal. Another? Not waiting for the perfect moment.Whether you're a fellow adult amateur retraining an OTTB, curious about the Thoroughbred Makeover process, or simply looking for honest insight into what this journey really looks like behind the scenes, Stephanie's story is one of heart, resilience, and horse-first horsemanship.

L'humain a utilisé le cheval d'abord comme proie puis comme outil. La "plus noble conquête" de l'humain est ainsi devenu cheval de labour, de transport, de guerre et de boucherie... Un bon ouvrier, un esclave puissant, docile, convertible en steaks easy peasy.Il a aussi été transformé en véhicule de sport : courir plus vite, sauter plus haut… et rapporter de l'argent.En France, l'équitation est le premier sport féminin (85% des 670 000 licenciés). 56% des cavalières ont moins de 16 ans. Dès qu'il s'agit de briller et de gagner, les messieurs reviennent. Plus de 60% des cavaliers des JO de Paris 2024 étaient des hommes. Sur les 12 cavaliers de l'équipe de France, on ne comptait que deux femmes, dont une remplaçante.Quoiqu'il en soit, les professionnels et les amoureux des chevaux ont des certitudes bien ancrées. Un cheval doit :"être ferré""vivre dans un box""manger de l'avoine""être dirigé avec un mors en acier dans la bouche"Dans son livre Le silence des chevaux (Amphora 2025), Pierre Enoff démonte ces pratiques, héritées des militaires. Elles sont autant de handicaps cruels et contre-productifs pour l'autre "meilleur ami de l'humain".Le cheval fait de fait partie des animaux "de rente" (bankable) les plus maltraités du monde :Il est parqué seul dans un box, alors que cet animal social devrait vadrouiller 25 km par jour.Il est ferré alors ses sabots sont faits pour s'user et s'ajuster au millimètre à sa morphologie.Il est nourri avec des pellets alors qu'il a besoin d'herbe fraîche et de plantes finement choisies.Il est sevré à 6 mois alors qu'il n'est encore qu'un bébé, pour faire des courses, amuser la galerie et enrichir toutes sortes de "spécialistes".Grâce à des précurseurs comme Pierre, une révolution est en cours. Cette série la raconte._______

On our 164th episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, which is supported by Agria this month, we hear from Gareth Hughes, who is one of Britain's top dressage riders, with countless championship appearances to his name. Gareth speaks to Horse & Hound dressage editor Oscar Williams about the all-new FEI dressage working group, tips for new riders starting out, and how the world of dressage has shifted over the years. We hope you enjoy listening.

In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Kelly de Geus: an amazing horsewoman known for her ability to train horses the piaffe in a light, soft, willing, biomechanically correct way. Kelly de Geus is a dedicated horse trainer and coach from the Netherlands, who has been captivated by horses for as long as she can remember. For over a decade, Kelly's main focus has been on training horses herself, developing a specialty in teaching horses to piaffe and passage in hand. This is always a result of optimal communication and body use, and never a quick fix or trick. Having trained over 1000 horses in hand, Kelly now primarily focuses on sharing the knowledge she gained by doing so, thereby helping more people (and, in turn, more horses) feel better, improve posture and optimise performance.   I first reached out to Kelly for online lessons years ago after being mesmerised by how light and happy her horses looked in the piaffe. At the time, she didn't have online resources, but she agreed to help me through online lessons and I was blown away by her approach. She taught me that that piaffe is reflection of correct basics, and that there are a sequence of things that need to be in place before the piaffe is possible. Her values in training horses align closely to my own so I am so happy to share her voice with the horse world.   In this episode, we cover: ✨ The true purpose of piaffe as a diagnostic and gymnastic exercise (it's more than just fancy footwork and it's not a ‘circus trick'!) ✨The importance of conncection, communication, & biomechanics ✨ Common mistakes & how to know if your horse is ready to start training the piaffe ✨ The groundwork that sets the foundation for collection ✨ Adjusting her training approach to different horses  ✨The role of positive reinforcement in her training ✨Plus so much more! If you've ever dreamed of training the piaffe, this is THE episode for you!
