This week, we sit down with Andrew Philbrick to talk about "social license to operate" in the horse world. What does this practically mean in the wake of recent scandals for the future of equine sports? 

Before we dive into this week’s interview with Andrew around social license to operate, the Katie Prudent scandal and what it all means for the future of the equestrian community, I want to note that we recorded this episode before the Cesar Parra video came out. Andrew and I both want to emphasize that we are vehemently against horse or rider abuse of any kind, and that we hope this conversation gives you insight to how we can do our part as individuals and as a community to move forward and protect our horses and our sport.

Andrew Philbrick has a long and storied career riding professionally at a high level for over 25 years. Andrew is the owner of Hunter Farms & Princeton Show Jumping and splits his time between Princeton, NJ and Wellington, FL. You can find more information about him and Hunter Farms at www.hunterfarms.us
