This week, Miri and Rhi are joined by 18-year-old international dressage rider Ruby Hughes. Having already represented Great Britain at five European Championships, Ruby shares what it’s been like growing up surrounded by elite dressage and why she’s now choosing to throw herself into a career with horses over a more traditional route of university. We really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. See you next week. Miri and Rhi
This week, Miri and Rhi are joined by Jack LaTorre of Equibody Fitness. Jack is based in Wellington, Florida and coaches equestrians on bettering their health and fitness. They discuss common problems riders face, that can be fixed with exercises away from the saddle, why more riding isn't always the answer and how strength and mobility can affect not only your riding, but your horse too. We really hope you enjoy this conversation. See you next week!
