In this week's Practical Horseman Podcast, sponsored by Cosequin, Sentinel and Zoetis, we spoke with Olympic show jumping team silver medalist Karl Cook. He and his Olympic mount Caracole de la Roque traveled to Paris as the alternate combination for Team USA. But after Kent Farrington withdrew his horse due to an allergy issue, the team decided to bring in Cook and Caracole.

For his part, Cook and the feisty bay mare had a stellar Olympic debut. He and Caracole were the sole U.S. combination to collect two clear rounds in team competition. This unequivocally helped the team clinch silver.

In today’s podcast, we talked to Cook about his Olympic debut at the 2024 Paris Games and his partnership with Caracole, and we discussed his comprehensive horsemanship program that prioritizes his horses’ health and well-being above all us.
