Have you ever wondered exactly how you go about starting a riding school? Jenny Hunter did just that - with no physical premises, a 26 year old pony, and his friends. In this episode, we chat about the challenges she faced, how she overcame them, and how she kept her 'horse first' ethos at the heart of everything she has achieved.

Jenny runs Hunterfield Riding School in East Lothian. She keeps a focus on keeping the horse at the centre of the sport, and prioritising respectful relationships between all of the horses and people she works with.EQUK Chat is the podcast that aims to open the doors to the equestrian industry by sharing inspiring stories.
