Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Racehorse Trainer Who’s Rewriting the Rules - Jessica Howell
Q: What could event riders learn from racing?
Forward focus is key; fostering a horse's forward mindset can unlock better performance and make retraining for different disciplines more effective, with slower, foundational work to rebuild confidence and engagement.
The Racehorse Trainer Who’s Rewriting the Rules - Jessica Howell
Q: What does a normal racehorse program look like, and how does it differ from what you do?
Her program emphasizes high attention to individual horses, with a structure that includes daily gallops, a weekly breeze, and a slower conditioning day; she also integrates periodization, cross-discipline conditioning, and mental health days to balance speed with wellness.
The Racehorse Trainer Who’s Rewriting the Rules - Jessica Howell
Q: How did you get into the training of Thoroughbreds on the trackside?
She started as a rider in three-day eventing and dressage, then moved to Full Gallop Farm in Aiken to work with racehorses as a way to fund her eventing career, eventually earning a Gallup license and transitioning into a racing-focused role.
The Mental Game of Elite Eventing — Felix Vogg
Q: Are you familiar with Andrew McLean's work on horse welfare and learning, and how does that influence your approach?
Felix responds affirmatively to the influence of welfare-focused research, noting that attentive grooming and presence with the horse can reduce pain signals and improve overall comfort.
The Mental Game of Elite Eventing — Felix Vogg
Q: What does the business side look like for your program, and how do you finance and manage a competitive string?
He discusses diversifying income, collaborating with partners, and the challenge of financing high-level coaching and facilities, underscoring the need for strategic investment and selective horse management.
