What does it take to not only compete in but win the public vote in the Grassroots Rider Academy? Well, today I speak to Megan Norton who did just that. We start by talking about how she got into horses and despite her mother's protests once she got a taste for Equestrianism she was hooked How the "get back up the horse mentality" has helped her in every area of her life That even though she only had Timmy a short amount of time she decided to give applying for The Grassroots Rider Academy a go The difference she noticed while competing in the academy to competing at shows and how supportive everyone was The importance of having a support system around you who can help you when you need it, even if you don't want to admit it We then talk about the heartbreak of not being able to breed from her first Horse Hattie and how it was like a loss of her own when she couldn't get in foal How Megan really fell out of love with riding but getting Timmy changed it all We come back to the Rider Academy and what it was like being interviewed and the difference she found from the start of the journey to where she is now How life has changed for her since the Rider Academy and the drive she gets now people are acknowledging all the work she puts in That she still gets negative comments here and there but if they aren't doing better than her she ignores them We finish by speaking about what Megan plans for the future and even though she had had some setbacks shes making the most of all the time she has If you want to keep up with Megan you can find her: Instagram: @lifeonmegsrein Facebook: Megan Norton If you are interested in working with me you can find me : Equestrian Instagram: @stronginthesaddle_ Equestrian Tiktok: @ stronginthesaddle Happy Hips for horseriding PDF: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/b4y0n6 Website: www.chrissyhawkins.com Instagram: @chrissyhfitness Want my FREE Kickstarter workout guide?

It's a connection of understanding, mutual respect, and an unspoken language that transcends words. Our guest today is Olivia, an equestrian who has spent a lifetime understanding these relationships. Olivia's journey into the equestrian world is a story that departs from the beaten path. With a mother who was a successful horse show competitor, Olivia could have easily followed the same route. However, her attraction to horses was unique and deviated from her mother's path. Her bond with a horse named Leo sparked a passion for horse riding that led to a deeper appreciation for each animal's unique aptitudes.This episode is a ride through the world of equestrianism, the art of naming horses, and the transformative moments that shape a rider. Olivia shares valuable insights about training horses, teaching lessons, and helping enthusiastic learners find their balance in the saddle. We delve into how traditional methods of training can establish hierarchy and respect between the rider and the horse. We also explore the process of naming horses, touching on how names often relate to the paternal and maternal sides of the horse. Most importantly, Olivia recounts a transformative moment she had with her horse, Skye, emphasizing the importance of riding with intention.The journey doesn't end there; we discuss the thrill and risks associated with horse riding. With anecdotes of her close calls and experiences, Olivia highlights how a horse's breeding and training can significantly affect its temperament. We also touch on the impact of training on a horse's happiness and the signals they give to communicate their personal limits. Finally, we discuss the benefits of equestrianism, including improved communication skills and conflict avoidance. Join us on this enlightening episode that goes beyond the saddle and into the heart of a lifelong passion for horses.Support the show

When the world's most famous super groom agrees to come to Scotland to coach for EquiTeam Confidence Camps and film some grooming and turnout videos for our EquiTeam members, we knew we were in for a fun few days. What we didn't realise was just what an absolute privilege it would be to spend time with the man who has travelled the world looking after, amongst others, Valegro, Utophia and Gio and who has been part of numerous Olympic, World and European medal winning teams. In this episode we reflect on our time with Alan, what we learnt, what we still want to ask him, and just how kind and generous he was with his time, knowledge and experience. It is fantastic to see how his hard work, dedication and support from Carl and Charlotte have given him a platform to promote the role the super grooms play in keeping our horses fit, healthy and at the top of their game. If you want to access Alan's grooming and turnout series and learn how to groom, plait and polish like Alan then you can join EquiTeam here

Are judges really as scary as we sometimes think? This is just one of the questions that EquiTeam's Liz Daniels put to British Dressage Judge Gillian Peters, on this week's podcast. Gillian is a BD List 1 judge, the Scottish Judge Regional representative, a coach and has also competed to advanced level, an accolade of achievements she has juggled around a job and family life. Gillian shares where the motivation for her inspiring journey to become a List 1 judge came from, and why she drove 1,000 miles to judge ten horses. Adding a brilliant perspective from inside the judge's box, Gillian shares why sometimes the judges might be as apprehensive as the riders trotting down the centre line, and why she thinks getting a nine is achievable. With a clear passion for the sport and training, Gillian delves into why she thinks test riding training is invaluable, and why training to be a judge is now more accessible than ever before. Whether you're interested in becoming a judge, or are a rider yourself, this is a must-listen episode to dispel the myths of being a judge.  Find out more about how to become a British Dressage judge or get involved in dressage writing  here  Topics include: British Dressage  Dressage Judging  Dressage riding  Equestrianism  List 1 Judging

Saddle up, because it's time to look at horse riding in (pre)history! Equestrianism often has to be looked at indirectly, either from the equipment used in horse riding or artistic depictions of riding styles. In this month's episode of Finally Friday, we talk with two experts who look at horse riding in the past in just this way.Dr Rena Maguire is a visiting researcher at Queens University Belfast, where her research focuses on equestrianism in Ireland in the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval period. She specialises in the material culture associated with horse riding practices, and is particularly interested in using this material as a means to investigate the level of interaction that Late Iron Age Irish society had with mainland Europe.Joakim Løvgren is one of the founders of EquiAstra, which offers a range of training services – both modern and historic - related to horse riding, and is a historian specialised in Late Medieval equestrianism. His work investigates historic equestrian theory, as well as artistic depictions of horse riding from the past, and how these styles can be practically replicated today.Support the show (https://exarc.net/become-member)

Out of all the animals domesticated by humans over the course of history, none has had as big of an impact as the horse.

Do you do work out of the saddle?  In this scintillating conversation, clinician Patrick King and Jec discuss elements of in-hand or ground work. One (in-hand) is more specific to English disciplines. The other (ground work) is better known for Western riders.  Whether you are novice or experienced, we think you will get a ton of insight from their chat.

Make no mistake-Team GB has enjoyed a wonderful Olympic success. Leapy is the first to acknowledge this. However, Leapy has been misunderstood. As a fan of Athletics he was concerned that Britain had little chance of medals in a lot of the events. In the euphoria after the success of Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Greg Rutherford in the Long Jump there has been a number of events which have not seen success. Leapy hastens to add he didn't mean to generalise and he applauds the wonderful successes that have been achieved in so many disciplines.. There are areas where the Olympic Committees will be looking at their strategies but overall these wonderful athletes and competitors have put the GREAT back in GB. There is a valid point that money must be invested to back the efforts of all competitors. The success in Equestrianism, Rowing, Sailing, and Cycling comes at a price. There must be an investment strategy and this has been the case with GB. How can the same success be transferred to the Blue Ribbon event?
