Equiteam’s Liz and Lou look at why rest is just as important for both you and your horse to allow time for proper recovery, muscle and soft tissue repair, and is good for your mental health and well-being. Whilst we like to work hard to achieve our goals, remembering the importance of downtime is just as vital. As well as aiding with concentration and energy levels, it also helps to prevent injuries. As the conversation flows the duo get on to school holiday guilt and why sometimes going away can leave you more exhausted!

In this week’s episode, EquiTeam’s Liz Daniels and Lou Gillings chat about the forthcoming EquiTeam Resilience Bootcamp.

EquiTeam’s Liz Daniels chats to Louise Gillings about a lightbulb moment in the car following some conversations at dressage camp last week, as she realised there is so much more she could be doing to help on her journey to reach her goals. Is always wanting to be better a personality trait of high achievers? And what does it feel like to be happy and content with what you have?

And how do you fit ‘more’ in, as the elusive work/life balance comes into play?! From face planting to singing, join Liz and Lou for another fun podcast.

Equiteam’s Liz Daniels chats to the lovely Mary Jarvie about her journey from being an ‘adult learner’ to a competent equestrian. As a horse-mad child and teenager, Mary describes riding as an addictive drug and the itch that she can now scratch – although her true equestrian learning didn’t start until she was in her fourties. Mary reflects on the challenges that she has faced along the way, letting go of the adult learner label, and the realisation that your riding level isn’t a reflection on the age that you started riding. 

This week is UK Coaching Week and Equiteam’s Liz Daniels and Lou Gillings are sharing the love for coaches who have inspired them and positively influenced their lives.
