Ep 27: "Ready for Trouble" Riding OTTBs with Lucinda Green (Part 1)


Listen Later

It only takes a moment of meeting Merrilyn Ratliff and listening to her sing the praises of her OTTB, Koda Bear, to realize how strong their partnership is. We had the great fortune of watching Merrilyn and Koda Bear while auditing the Lucinda Green clinic at Loch Moy Farm, home of the Maryland Horse Trials on April 29-30, 2024. In this episode, which is Part 1 of 2 of our clinic coverage, we’ll recap Merrilyn’s past and present experiences riding with the six-time Badminton winner, 1982 World Champion, and Olympic medallist.

For those unfamiliar, Lucinda has a unique teaching style - the fences never get very big, but she has a keen eye for teaching horses and riders how to prepare for cross country courses and to develop that “fifth leg” that a good cross country horse has.

In this clinic, she put a big emphasis on terrain and how she believes it will become one of the biggest factors in cross country in the coming years.

We’ll hear how Merrilyn and Koda Bear coped, and how Merrilyn conquered her fear of a very specific fence on the course.

Lucinda is also one of the most enthusiastic Thoroughbred fans out there, so stay tuned for the upcoming release of OTTB on Tap’s exclusive interview with her about all things Thoroughbred!
