  • Engaging guest interviews

    I really like the wide variety of guests on the show. They’re honest and their experiences really support the reality of equestrianism: the ups and the downs happen at all levels in all the genres of equestrian sport. My biggest turn off is the interviewer intro -to me it seems unnecessarily long getting into the interview.

Back to Basics: The Foundation That Fixes Everything with Amelia Newcomb
Q: What about riders who can only train a few times a week?
There are many off-the-saddle ways to reinforce basics, especially fitness exercises that support rider position, such as squats with checks on alignment or using a banister to simulate rein positions, so you can stay connected to basics even with limited saddle time.
Back to Basics: The Foundation That Fixes Everything with Amelia Newcomb
Q: Amelia, what does going back to the basics mean to you?
It means simplifying to three core areas—groundwork, rider position, and the dressage training scale—and using those as a foundation to address almost any problem, while recognizing progress can require patience and slow, deliberate steps.
