On the Optimized Equestrian Podcast I shared something that may challenge competitors.
You can win all you like. But if the cost to the horse is too high, the win means nothing.
If equestrian sport does not evolve, it will be taken out of our hands. It really is that simple. We either learn to compete without pushing horses beyond their physical, mental, and emotional thresholds, or competition risks fading away.
This is not about ending sport. It is about protecting it by understanding the horse first.
