🇬🇧 #85 | Shane Breen, Irish show jumping team member, guest of I am an Equestrian, Podcast

🇨🇮 Shane Breen is our 86th guest and Shane not only is one of the best show jumpers from Ireland, but he is a very comprehensive equestrian. Talented rider, dedicated trainer and genuinely passionate breeder. For the last decades, he has experienced the sport in its very different and complementary facets.  🔙 We have met and recorded this episode during the Lyon World Cup leg and we have had the chance to enjoy this long conversation with Shane.  💬 In this episode, we talk about pony classes, choices, the direct correlation between how sport has evolved and how the breed of horses has changed and moved over the last decades. For Shane, running breeding operations has now become almost inevitable for riders to get to compete at the highest level.  🤩 If we had to describe Shane based on the hour-conversation we have had with him, we could tell he is a hard worker, a very ambitious and organized sportsman, with a long-term vision and enough curiosity to get involved in side activities.  ✨As this often occurs while meeting a new guest, we have been deeply inspired by our conversation with him and really hope you will be too.  📩 As always, do not forget to send us private messages on Instagram or Facebook to share your thoughts with us after listening to this episode.  🤝 This episode with Shane Breen is sponsored by Bombers. As you will hear in this episode, according to Shane, the key to success in equestrian sports and show jumping often rests on little details. Very tiny changes can fundamentally change the way we ride, compete and perform. This mostly falls on details such as a better balance, a lighter mental or even a more suitable bit.  💯 Bits... We all know how significant they are in our riding and how we must accurately think and feel when picking the right one. Today, we would like to talk about Bombers bits. Bombers horse bits are entirely handcrafted in their own factory, in South Africa. Their philosophy is the following : if pressure equals resistance, then resistance equals lack of control. Here is in a few and smart words how important bits are.  💥 To develop their range of bits and foster innovation, they have worked in close collaboration with horses and riders. That is why making those bits by hand is so important : this allows them to adjust, to adapt and to eventually design the perfect bit that will help riders to perfectly bond with their horse.  Every horse is very unique and picking up the right bit for them is absolutely essential to protect their wellness.  💻 You can find the list of worldwide Bombers retailers in their website : bombers.co.za and follow them on social media for further info about their philosophy or technology  Hébergé par Ausha.
