Chris Stafford's guest this week is Lucinda Fredericks who is a familiar name to anyone in eventing having been in the sport since her Junior and Young Rider years turned to a successful senior career with a string of 3 and 4 star horses. Her partnership with Headley Brittania captured the big three - Badminton, Burghley and Kentucky before the mare retired to the breeding barn. Lucinda’s team silver medal on the Australian team in the Beijing Olympic Games was another career highlight followed by a second Olympics in London. While her focus has shifted away from four star level she still has a full yard and her focus now is on training the younger generation, and being groom to her daughter Ellie.

Rio Olympic Silver Medalists in the Lightweight Doubles, Lindsay Jennerich & Patricia Obee, are back and their topic is Dealing with Disappointment in competiiton as an individual and in a team. They share their personal experiences of how they coped when they didn't get the result they hoped for or expected, how critical analysis is critically important not just in defeat but also when you win. And why being honest with yourself and your team mates is key to a successful outcome. They also explain why it's important to distinguish critical analysis of yourself as an athlete not your character or personality.
