On today's episode of In Stride, Sinead talks to Lainey Ashker about the adversity she has overcome and how it has affected her mental health and confidence, making her the rider and trainer she is today.

Lainey Ashker is a five star event rider who has competed in several FEI competitions, including the Burghley CCI5* and Blenheim CCI4*. In addition to being a top event rider, Lainey went pro in dressage in 2019 and has ridden to the Grand Prix level. 

Lainey talks about adjusting to east coast life at a young age and taking access to professionals and events for granted. She also discusses her social media presence and how she gained a following by being transparent and relatable. Lainey and Sinead cover other great topics like the value of secondary education and balancing eventing and dressage.
