    20 Minutes That Could Change Your Riding | Equestrian Fitness Coach Nina Hammarström

In this episode of The Stable Hour, host Eva Cappelen sits down with Equestrian Fitness Coach Nina Hammarström to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of equestrian performance: the rider. From strength and balance to mobility, nutrition and recovery, Nina explains how your own body directly influences your horse's movement, communication and performance. The best part?

    Olympic Champion Julia Krajewski: Dream Big, Plan Realistic

    What does it really take to become an Olympic champion? In Episode 2 of The Stable Hour, Eva Cappelen sits down with Olympic Champion Julia Krajewski, the first woman in history to win individual Olympic gold in eventing. But this conversation isn't really about medals. It's about the years behind them. Growing up without a horsey background. Learning to build a career from the ground up. Dealing with setbacks, loss, pressure, expectations, and finding a way forward when things don't go according to plan. Together, Eva and Julia discuss the difference between dreams and goals, the mindset behind long-term success, horse welfare at the highest level, social media, young riders, and why success doesn't necessarily erase suffering. A thoughtful and honest conversation about horses, ambition, resilience, and the long game behind greatness.

    Trainer Pether Markne: The Horse Comes First

    What happens when results become more important than the horse?t In the first episode of The Stable Hour, Eva Cappelen sits down with Pether Markne, one of Europe's most respected trainers and horsemen, an Olympic dressage rider, and former international showjumper, for a conversation about horsemanship, patience, and long-term development. Together, they discuss why so many riders rush the process, the importance of understanding the horse instead of blaming it, and how curiosity often creates better results than frustration. Pether shares his thoughts on modern equestrian sport, the pressure facing young riders, the role of trainers, and why true progress starts with learning to see the horse in front of you. From flatwork and foundations to mindset, management, and the responsibility we carry as riders, this episode explores what it really means to love the horse more than the sport.
