Show Notes
In this episode we talk with Annie Rawlins (Irish Grand Prix Dressage Rider) about how she trains her horses, her philosophy of always treating every horse like an individual and her aims to help each horse reach their full potential, whatever that may be! We also talk selling horses, confidence losses and how, no matter your level, we are always learning!
I am so excited to share this with you all, this new series is all about celebrating and learning about the different training philosophies and different approaches towards training dressage horses.
My hope is that everyone will be able to take something (if not a tonne of things) from every single rider, coach and trainer that we have on. There are huge nuggets of wisdom, training tips and approaches that i know you are going to find so valuable and i cannot wait for you all to hear Annie's episode and the other guests that will follow!
This is our first episode in this series where we invite trainers, riders and judges to come onto the podcast to discuss how they train their horses. You'll notice similarities between them all but also little differences in philosophies and approaches. These episodes are full of wise words, training ideas and light bulb moments so i really hope you take a few awesome things from each person.
