Chris and Jane are joined by former British team trainer whose illustrious career spanned some 30 years leading the Junior and Young Rider squads to a tally of 96 medals between 1981 – 2011. Gill’s riding career was highlighted by winning Burghley in 1969 riding Shaitan. Her gift for also being a successful trainer was her ability to bring out the best in riders without changing their unique style or instincts, which gave them the confidence to fulfill their potential. And she is not hanging up her boots anytime soon as she continues to train riders of all levels of eventing.

Nicole talks to her new colleague and fellow college tennis player Dr. Dunja Antunovic, who will join her in the Tucker Center in the fall of 2020. Dunja is currently finishing out her stint in Sports Communication at the Charley Steiner School of Sports Communication at Bradley University.

The Horse Show takes on a new look and feel this week as Chris is joined by an old friend Jane Wallace, making her podcasting debut as a co-host. Their topic of discussion is over-tight nose-bands as Jane shares her lifetime’s experience from showing ponies to international eventing, from teaching to training. She explains why taking the time for building the foundation to a house is the perfect metaphor for understanding why the principles of a broad training base are critical. Why there are times when some horses need a tight nose-band but how important it is to no over-tighten.  Jane talks about the consequences of creating this vicious circle, which is an anathema to correct training.  Some sound advice here and some reasons why competition stewards are not intercepting when they see nose-bands that are clearly too tight.  And if you stay to the end you’ll hear them have some fun as they recall some early lessons in basic equitation… and that means going back to their pony days!
