"He Just Got Sick Of Walking" The First Person To Ride a Horse | David McKinnon | Ep 11

from Luke Rogers Podcast · host Luke Rogers

David McKinnon is one of Australia's top dressage riders — competing at the elite level in one of the most demanding and misunderstood sports in the world. But this isn't just a conversation about horses.We get into what it actually takes to perform at the highest level, how David turned a passion into a career, the brutal economics of running an equestrian business, and what separates the good from the truly elite.We also talk about my own transition out of the army, performing under pressure when the stakes are real, and somehow end up discussing who the first human to ever ride a horse was — and why the other animals were definitely not okay with it.One of the more unexpected and genuinely entertaining conversations I've had on the show.
