In this episode of OTTB on Tap, Niamh and Emily catch up with Annika Greaney, one of the trainers we’ve been following as she prepares her two OTTB ex-broodmares for the Retired Racehorse Project’s Makeover in October. Annika shares how she’s been adapting her training approach to fit the unique needs of Tizso Majestic (Tessa) and Egoli, and why she’s focusing on slow, steady progress.

We’ll hear about Tessa’s fun adventure at ranch camp, Egoli’s impressive success in barrel racing, and how Annika’s experience training mustangs fits into the mix. Plus, Annika offers some great tips for handling the pressure of preparing for a big event like the Makeover.

Don’t miss Annika’s thoughts on what makes working with OTTBs (and young horses in general) so rewarding—and be sure to listen for some of her favorite training tips and stories.
