I had no idea who she was, what classes she was competing in, or her journey. What I did love was how she approached working and handling her horse Atheby and I wanted to know more and also tell her what a phenomenal job she was doing with him. (and she isnt 'no one' and w...

    Episode 15: Lottie and Bonner- From Catfishing on Social Media to Endurance Riders

    We hit the ground running in this episode! Lottie is an amateur rider, who took on a ex racehorse as she ‘liked the look of what she saw on social media posts.’ Her story and journey with Bonner is something that I think we can ALL relate to at various stages and I LOVE how Lottie explains how she and Bonner navigated and are still navigating their way through their re training journey.
