On today's episode of "In Stride," Sinead talks to international 5* event rider Jon Holling about coping with hardships in life and in sport.

There's a lot to know about Jon. Here are some highlights:

- He's ridden at world famous events such as the KY 3-Day Event, Burghley Horse Trials and the World Cup Eventing Finals in Sweden

- He is a USEA Level IV ICP Certified Instructor

- He was the coach of the Area IV Young Rider team at three championships and brought home the team gold at two of them 🥇🥇

- He has served on the USEA Board of Governors, the Nominating Committee, and the Executive Committee

- Our favorite: he was one of the very first Ride iQ coaches and his lessons are regularly atop the Ride iQ charts!

He is currently:

- Co-Chairman of the USEA XC Safety Sub-Committee

- The USEF National Safety Officer for eventing to the FEI

- A member of the Risk Management Steering Group for the FEI

- A member of the USEF Safety Committee

- Chairman of the USEF Eventing Sport Committee

- A member of the International Disciplines Council for the USEF

And from his bio for USEA: "With all of his other responsibilities, Jon still prioritizes time with his son, Caiden. He is a veteran of marriage to Jennifer. Jon is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, a lover of teenage girl dance music, and a glutton for punishment at his CrossFit classes 🏋️."

Phew! We're so glad he added "Ride iQ Coach" to his resume last year! We wouldn't want him to get bored.
