On today's episode of "In Stride," Sinead talks to Lucinda Green about the fundamental partnership based on trust that riders must have with their horses.

Lucinda left school at 15-years-old to attend an untraditional “look and learn” school where she was taught about a range of topics including world religion, politics, and the history of art. Lucinda’s mom was involved in fox hunting and her father played international polo. 

Lucinda and Sinead talk about how the equestrian profession has changed over the decades and importance of horsemanship in being a successful competitor. Lucinda talks about the uniqueness of each rider and each horse and how she always prioritized mutual trust with her horses. Lucinda is a passionate advocate of challenging cross-country courses as a way of being true to the sport of eventing - she discusses how the sport has evolved over time and the risks that come with that evolution. Lucinda tells stories from her first time winning Badminton at 19 years old to her long, successful career after that.
