  • Rupert Isaacson and Sofia Valenca

    This was the first podcast I have listened to. I have had the pleasure of meeting them both previously. I can not emphasize how important it is to listen to this podcast and soak in what they staying.

    Knowledge is so powerful and we need to remind ourselves to think about what makes us passionate about the horse and live the dream.

    I could go on forever but simply tune in and learn and allow yourselfto awaken.
