Listen With EquiTeam EquiTeam

Equiteam’s Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings caught up with Equiteam Connected member Jen Craig to find out what sparked her fitness journey and how it has impacted her mindset.

The trio discuss making sustainable lifestyle choices and why ice cream features every day in Jen’s menu with no intention of giving up!

As Louise is preparing for a half marathon, Jen shares how the Equiteam Fit to Ride videos and plans have inspired her to kick-start her health journey and how she has noticed the biggest differences in her energy, her time in the saddle and most of all to her mindset.

In this episode, EquiTeam’s Liz Daniels chats to Muireann O Toole Brennan Co Founder and Head of Media at Equitas about inspiring a generation.

As Muireann sobbed her way to a riding lesson early on in life, scared to ride, little did she know that the sisters who owned the stables would change, shape and inspire her future both in and out of the saddle – her first experience of truly supportive women working together.

With a career steeped in many equestrian experiences, Muireann jumped at the opportunity to combine the two things she loved; writing and horses, as she recalls the emotions when her first article was published in the Grassroots Gazette.

A few articles later and a meeting request with the ‘boss’ left Muireann thinking that she might get fired, but she needn’t have worried, it was the beginning of something really big – Equitas was born.

Equitas is an inclusive online publication that opens conversations and supports the women in our industry bringing about change, with one of the most notable achievements being the recent rule change surrounding the compulsory wearing of white breeches for competition.

An conversation oozing with passion, pride and admiration.

Following a recent social media post, EquiTeam’s Liz Daniels is joined by equine and human physiotherapist Maeve Sheridan, creator of ‘Activate your Seat’ and EquiTeam member Carolyn Macdonald, previous podcast guest of ‘how getting fit and losing four stone changed my life’.  

After talking about the rider/horse weight ratio at an educational day Maeve was inspired to weigh herself in her riding clothes whilst carrying her tack and was so surprised by the findings that she shared her numbers on social media as an educational post.

The post attracted both positive and negative comments and so we wanted to discuss the topic further to find out more.

At EquiTeam we love nothing more than chatting about confidence, and so this week’s guest is the perfect fit as we welcome confidence coach and sports psychologist Daisy Smith to the Listen with EquiTeam podcast.

After suffering a crisis of confidence Daisy was able to draw on her own personal and professional experiences to help others, which led to the formation of How Very Horsey.

Daisy has a very refreshing slant on ‘being brave’ as she shares her own story, and explains how a background in theatre has given her additional techniques to share with other equestrians to help them put the fun and love back into riding.
