Albert Voorn…one of the Netherlands most successful…and most controversial show jumpers and coaches. He won the individual silver at the Sydney Olympics and has competed in many Nations Cups. He continues to pass on his knowledge and is quick to speak his mind but in doing so, gives very thoughtful answers. He’s a gentleman and is quick to stand up for what he believes and is always on the side of the horse. You may not agree with everything he says, but he will definitely make you think.
We discuss horse welfare, expand on his video that went viral about angry, young, riders, the problem with the 2* circuit in Europe, why it’s better to respect your horse than to love it as well as when to stand up for things and when to step back.
