So, I wasn’t 100% sure to put this one up as a podcast or not because the quality isn’t great. It was done on Skype, which is not my favourite form of interviewing. I’d rather do it face to face, but it is Ingrid..one of the greatest equestrians ever!! I was in Sydney and Ingrid was loading horses and driving her truck in Germany, so in that sense, modern technology is awesome. And Ingrid is absolutely worth listening to. She always has so many positive and motivating things to say. This might not be a podcast for the car. You might need to take a little 20 minute break with a cup of tea or coffee, but it’s very well worth it.

I spoke to Ingrid just after her 2019 European eventing individual and team gold in Luhmühlen. Ingrid talks about competing as an older athlete, Bobby and how he’s changed over the years, what he’s like cross country and his one times changes! How to build trust and a good partnership with your horse. How her training varies between her eventers and dressage horses. Franziskus and his big personality. Advice for young riders. Her famous helmet cam. The importance of fairness to the horse. AND having a balanced life and an open mind! She’s just awesome!
