    Sean Vard: Unmatched Work Ethic and Success Story of the Leading Show Groom

    This episode is a departure from our usual focus, as we turn the spotlight on an unsung hero of the sport, someone who has been to the Olympics and travels the world with the horses. Today, we're thrilled to introduce Sean Vard, one of the most accomplished and respected show grooms in the world (even he himself denies it). Sean is the driving force behind the success of Martin Fuchs’ horses, ensuring they’re always at their best. But Sean is much more than a world-class groom. As you’ll see throughout the episode, he's a businessman, with a sharp mind and a great sense of humor. He’s known for his unparalleled work ethic, putting his horses above all else - He’s a real horseman.  Without the dedication, passion, and expertise of grooms like Sean, the sport simply wouldn't be what it is today; they are the backbone of every victory. In this episode, we delve into Sean's incredible journey, his invaluable role at the Fuchs Stables, exploring his story, his experiences, and most importantly, getting to know the man who plays such a crucial role in the Team. Trust us, he’s so much fun, and we can't wait for you to hear his insights! And stay tuned until the end, recorded straight from the stables, Sean has invited a special guest you won’t want to miss!
