The Plaid Horse presents "Inside Your Ride" with mental skills coach Tonya Johnston. Today, Tonya welcomes trainer David Loman to the show to talk about his perspective and experience as a black horseman in the hunter/jumper community. Tonya also welcomes Rob Jacobs who operates The Robert Lawrence House of Opportunity, which is a nonprofit that provides“"Opportunity Clinics” open to all riders regardless of income level, age, ability, or experience. In lieu of the customary charges associated with quality training, riders are asked to make a donation to the organization. The funds raised throughout the year provide scholarships to support educational endeavors of collegiate equestrians.

Thank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast. This podcast is a labor of love, and every single episode exists because of this incredible community of riders, trainers, barn managers, parents, and horse lovers who show up in the barn, in the ring, and right here with us.

At The Plaid Horse, our commitment goes far beyond the show ring. We believe deeply in the power of literacy and education and that every rider, at every level, deserves access to knowledge, stories, and ideas that make them a better horseperson and a better human being. Reading matters. Learning matters. And the stories we tell each other in this sport matter more than we sometimes realize.

We build this together. Every article, every episode, every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, to feel less alone in the challenges of this sport, and to be reminded of why we fell in love with horses in the first place.

Until next time, keep reading, keep learning, keep riding, and remember that the horse world is better when we build it together. I will see you at the ring!
