Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PS Heidi Cornick & PC Laura Webb: Inside the Mounted Police
Q: How do you prepare horses for loud or potentially frightening situations?
Webb describes introducing stimuli gradually, using reassurance, treats and experienced companion horses to help the less experienced horses build confidence over repeated sessions.
PS Heidi Cornick & PC Laura Webb: Inside the Mounted Police
Q: How does policing from the back of a horse differ from being on the ground?
Cornick says mounted officers can reach places that other officers may not, attract people who might not otherwise approach police, and spot and calm emerging disorder at large events.
What Makes a Good Rider? Why You Shouldn't Rush Progress | Free Rein Friday
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring professional showjumpers slash horse trainers? I have the most amazing horse, but sometimes I have trouble working through things with them, and it makes me doubt myself. I've also never competed in any big classes, like most of my peers.
Pippa recommends returning to the basics, including transitions between and within paces, straightness and impulsion. She says these fundamentals support better jumping and help riders avoid problems as they progress, and that there are no shortcuts to building those skills.
Saffron Cresswell: Life After Eventing & Starting Again
Q: What was it like sort of adapting from a sport that was very partnership focused to a sport that's exclusively individual?
Cresswell says eventing taught her to manage her mindset because stress affects a horse. She carried that perspective into para-canoeing, where staying calm helps her perform as an individual athlete.
Saffron Cresswell: Life After Eventing & Starting Again
Q: What do you remember about the incident at Bramham?
Cresswell recalls having a strong cross-country round before a momentary error caused her and her horse to fall. She immediately knew she could not feel her legs and was later diagnosed with a high spinal cord injury.
