    How equipment design impacts motivation and skill acquisition. A conversation with adventure sport athlete and designer, Corran Addison.

    Evolving Trends in Equestrian Journalism. A conversation with Sara Bref and Dr Petra Andersson.

    I reached out to Sara Bref after reading a translation of one of her articles for the Swedish equestrian magazine Hippson. After a brief exchange of emails, I invited Sara to be a guest and Sara asked if she could bring Petra with her.
