Our guest today is Nicki Bates, a West Sussex based show jumper that rides and produces horses up to Grand Prix and CSI 2*. In between popping fences, she’s a very  busy coach, with clients of varying levels. Along with her husband, dressage rider Michael Bates, she also breeds and produces sport horses. Find out how Nicki feeds her yard of competition horses, broodmares and young stock. 

Tania talks rider crookedness, reactive young horses and springy trot moments, while Katie finds a slice of heaven! 

All of this month, the pod is kindly supported by Baileys, and just to add a cherry to the cake, they have offered us a phenomenal prize to give away!
