Charlotte Smet: The Passion Behind EquiRatings and the Power of Data in Showjumping

Today’s episode is a special one, recorded at the iconic Brussels Stephex Masters. Thank you to Stephex HorseTrucks for providing such an incredible space, perfectly fitting for this episode. In this episode, we're taking a little departure from our usual rider-focused content. We’re joined by Charlotte Smet from EquiRatings Showjumping. For those of you who aren’t familiar, EquiRatings produces horse performance statistics to help us all understand the sport better. Alysee and I have always been intrigued by the numbers behind the sport, so we couldn’t wait to sit down with Charlotte. She's young, vibrant, and truly passionate about her work and the sport.  Charlotte’s job is all about analyzing the data and crafting the stories that unfold from those stats. It’s not something you hear about every day in the world of showjumping, which is exactly why we wanted to share her perspective with you.  You’ll hear her excitement and dedication in every word, and that’s what we love. Just like us, she’s contributing to the sport in her own unique way. So, let’s dive into the episode. You’re going to love hearing from Charlotte Smet!
