After countless rave reviews in the EquiTeam Connected group about the Cuddlr Fleece Lines Weatherproof Trousers being the best on the market, we wanted to go straight to the horse's mouth and chat to the man behind the brand. On this episode, EquiTeam's Liz Daniels welcomes Mike Westwood, founder of clothing company, Cuddlr to dig beneath the cosy clothing and find out more about the story behind this successful side hustle. Mike shares the inspiring story behind building a successful equestrian side hustle, from the initial idea and product development, to the challenges of launching a clothing brand and making the bold decision to leave the security of full-time employment. 🎧 In this episode you'll hear:

• How Cuddlr was created and what makes the products stand out
• The realities of starting an equestrian clothing brand
• Lessons learned from growing a side hustle into a business
• Advice for entrepreneurs considering the leap into self-employment

👉 Listen now for inspiration, practical takeaways, and an inside look at one of the fastest-growing names in equestrian wear.

This week Gill has taken the Equiteam reins and Lou and Liz are in the hot seat as they delve into the story behind EquiTeam – where it all started, what inspired it, and how it's grown into the amazing community it is today. We also chat about the much-loved EquiTeam Advent Calendar (yes, it's nearly that time again!) - how it came about, why it's such a favourite, and what makes it so much fun. And of course, we dive into why connection is at the heart of everything EquiTeam does - bringing people together, supporting each other, how the resources can help, and celebrating the highs (and the not-so-highs!) of horsey life.

Join EquiTeam now and pay nothing until the 1st December.

On today's episode, EquiTeam's Liz and Lou chat about opportunities, do we create our own or are some people just lucky. They talk about opportunities they have had, and why it is important to remember that you don't always see the hard work in the background before someone gets offered something exciting.

Do you need to be bold and ask for chances or rely on being brave enough to say yes in the moment?
