  • Love it, but

    The information is so relevant and needed in the equestrian world. It would be much easier to listen to as it’s very complex information if the presenters did not use the word like 4 to 5 times in a sentence. Using the filler word interrupts the flow of the information. They are obvious experts in their Field and could benefit from some lessons in oral presentations.
