4.7 out of 5 stars from 65 ratings
  • Great guests

    The guests are the best part. The host is too long winded and struggles to let the guests answer the questions. In addition, it’s an official podcast, so more effort should be made by the host to use the new FEI nomenclature. Calling LRK3DE a 4* is no longer correct!

    Great program, but at times audio quality is so poor it's difficult to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

USEA Podcast #424: A Strong Partnership Starts on the Ground
Q: How do you distinguish between a horse that doesn't understand what you're asking to a horse that isn't responding to what you're asking?
Maynard recommends observing the horse's eye, head, ears, muzzle, nostrils and breathing, especially whether its eye appears engaged and thoughtful, rather than judging only its feet or body position.
USEA Podcast #424: A Strong Partnership Starts on the Ground
Q: What is it about working from the ground with a horse that makes it so special and makes it so effective as part of that partnership?
Groundwork lets riders communicate through body language, a channel horses are especially skilled at reading. It develops both the rider's observation and communication skills and the horse's attention to the rider.
USEA Podcast #452: The Horses to Watch After the 2026 YEH Championships
Q: What is it about the Young Event Horse Program that you particularly like that means it's such a target for you?
Pamukcu likes setting a championship goal for each young horse and planning its development backward from that target, while using the experience to prepare horses for bigger competitions.
USEA Podcast #452: The Horses to Watch After the 2026 YEH Championships
Q: When you're looking for a young horse, what is it that actually stands out for you, first of all?
Alliston prioritizes jumping and galloping ability, a light type, good feet, straight legs, and a powerful jump, along with movement.
USEA Podcast #423: There’s a Place for Everyone in Eventing
Q: Allison, what's the kind of thing that people don't know coming into a horse trials and a recognized USEA event, and what would you tell newcomers?
Ask questions freely—talk to coaches, show jump designers, organizers, and volunteers. Eventing culture is very welcoming and coach-supported, with a buddy system and resources like the rule book and certified instructors to help newcomers feel confident and stay safe while learning.
