  • LOVE LOVE LOVE!

    I love In Stride! This is such a great podcast. I’m a long time listener and am so grateful that your recent episode has Katie, an amateur. It often feels forgotten that most of our sport is made up of amateurs. Cheers to the folks working 40+ hours elsewhere, trying to get to the gym, balancing social & family lives, and still finding time to ride. PLEASE have more episodes like this!!

Rupert Isaacson: How a Father's Search for His Autistic Son's Voice Became the Horse Boy Method
Q: How do you decide when a participant is ready to progress to more advanced activities or to on-horse work?
Begin with school-master horses and gradual progression; progression hinges on the participant's comfort and safety, with a emphasis on safety, herd dynamics, and a staged introduction to weight and aids.
Alec Lochore: Reinvention, Responsibility, and Designing the LA 2028 Cross-Country Course
Q: Can you describe the decision-making process behind course layout and how you plan the progression for riders of different levels?
You assess multiple options and build a progression that gradually increases difficulty, ensuring there is a path for everyone while maintaining high standards for elite competition; contingencies and flexibility are built into the plan.
Alec Lochore: Reinvention, Responsibility, and Designing the LA 2028 Cross-Country Course
Q: How does the role of course designer differ from other roles at the Games, and what are the main pressures?
The course designer shapes the field of play, coordinates with venues, and must balance the dramatic demands of the sport with safety, while also managing a large, multi-year timeline and the context of broadcast and audience expectations.
Alec Lochore: Reinvention, Responsibility, and Designing the LA 2028 Cross-Country Course
Q: What is the big deal about the Olympics and what does it mean to you as a designer?
The Olympics are a symbol of excellence across nations, offering a platform to showcase the sport to a massive audience; the event provides both inspiration and a testing ground to push course design to new levels.
You Asked, They Answered: Round Two with Sinead & Tik Maynard
Q: How do you maintain a relationship with your horse and allow downtime during a busy show season?
Sinead and Tik emphasize reframing difficulty as opportunities for relationship-building, prioritizing curiosity and play, and integrating downtime through low-pressure activities that still build communication.
