The Just Horse Riders Podcast

How does a UK show horse producer get a young horse ready for HOYS, Royal Windsor and Royal International? Vicky Smith explains the real graft.In Episode 37 of the Just Horse Riders Podcast, Aaron sits down with Vicky Smith — Cheshire-based professional show horse producer, multiple HOYS winner (Coloured Ridden Non-Native Horse of the Year, Maxi Cob of the Year), Royal Windsor and Royal International champion, and a former PE teacher who took a sabbatical that turned into a full-time career producing show horses.According to Vicky, "showing is a sport where you are being judged — so to be judged for a living is quite hard." She also explains why no other discipline asks a rider to spend all winter training a horse, only to hand the reins to a stranger in the summer.What you'll learn:Why six weeks of January roadwork still beats any modern shortcut for fitnessHow variety (hacking, herd turnout, pole work, farm rides) keeps show horses mentally freshThe honest conversation every producer should have with owners about expectationsWhy bitting is the most over-thought area in showing — and what to fix insteadHow amateurs can get into showing through riding clubs, BSHA, TSR and London InternationalWatch now, or listen on Spotify wherever you get your podcasts.Website: https://www.justhorseriders.co.uk/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/justhorseridersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/justhorseridersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JustHorseRidersOfficalSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7sUBwfQNIG40hRgs8hXbKi#justhorseriders #equestrianpodcast #justhorseriderspodcast #showhorses #HOYS #RoyalWindsor #horseproducer #UKshowing0:00 Introduction0:46 Meet Vicky Smith — Cheshire show yard2:18 From riding school to HOYS at Wembley5:00 Eventing, hunting and finding showing again6:51 Teaching PE while running 8 show horses14:07 The HOYS 2018 weekend that changed everything17:00 Breaking her pelvis at 16 and going to uni19:14 Taking on horses — managing expectations27:34 Winter roadwork and legging-up explained30:49 Rest, recovery and match fitness41:23 Building the team — mum, Hayley and the grooms47:12 Vets, farriers and the wider yard network50:33 What a normal day looks like at the yard53:50 Selling on, retiring and saying goodbye57:34 Bart — the horse of a lifetime59:28 The pressure of being judged for a living1:02:09 Pathways for amateurs — clinics and BSHA1:05:37 When it goes wrong — the runaway in the ring1:12:21 Keeping show horses mentally fresh1:19:33 How Vicky switches off1:21:50 What people get wrong about showing1:26:17 Quick-fire round1:31:59 Advice for riders aiming at HOYS

Less than a year later she was back at the top of the sport.In this episode:- How Mary came back from a broken neck to reach world number one- Simon's journey from selling fruit to supermarkets to building Zebra Products- How home-bred event horses are produced from foal to 5-star- The brands, riders and moments that shaped modern British eventing- Mary's reflections on 46 seasons, six Olympics and stepping away from the sportListen now on Spotify or watch the full conversation here.0:00 Introduction1:35 Coming back from a broken neck3:05 Broken back day one of Zebra Products5:35 Starting Zebra in a foot-and-mouth year6:00 Non-horsey backgrounds and early riding7:26 Watching Badminton as a kid9:59 The mindset that gets you to the top12:39 Early career setbacks and pushing through20:44 Influencers vs. authentic brand marketing22:54 What people misunderstand about eventing28:46 Competing at the top as a mum33:00 A normal day in an Olympian's life35:07 Mary, Emily and a family dynasty43:59 Spotting a good product vs. good marketing45:07 Teaching your own daughter to ride50:15 Learning without TikTok or YouTube1:00:33 How tech has changed British Eventing1:02:15 Why Mary retired after 46 seasons1:09:12 What's next for Zebra Products1:10:17 Quick-fire round: 10 rapid questions1:17:04 Mentors, family and final reflectionsEpisode sponsor — Zebra Products: https://www.zebraproducts.co.uk/Website: https://www.justhorseriders.co.uk/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/justhorseridersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/justhorseridersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JustHorseRidersOfficalSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7sUBwfQNIG40hRgs8hXbKi#justhorseriders #equestrianpodcast #justhorseriderspodcast #maryking #zebraproducts #eventing #badminton #britisheventing

Horse riders are athletes — but most are fuelling their horses better than themselves.In this episode of the Just Horse Riders Podcast, host Aaron Englander sits down with qualified nutritionist and equestrian Kristen Stavridis to talk about the one thing most riders overlook: their own nutrition. Kristen is an 8-year qualified nutritionist, social media educator, and author of The Fiber Fix — a practical guide to gut health for everyday people.According to Kristen, the single biggest nutrition mistake horse riders make is under-fuelling — not eating enough to support the physical and mental demands of riding, mucking out, and long competition days.In this episode we cover:- Why skipping breakfast on show day affects your focus, muscle strength, and safety- How your gut microbiome controls cravings, immunity, and energy levels- The truth about electrolyte supplements — and why most riders don't need them- Nutrition advice for female riders — menstrual health, perimenopause, and bone density- Quick, practical food swaps for busy yard mornings (no meal prep required)Watch now, or listen on Spotify at the link below.📖 Get Kristen's book — The Fibre Fix:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fibre-Fix-More-Supercharge-Health/dp/103508709X🌐 https://www.justhorseriders.co.uk/📘 https://www.facebook.com/justhorseriders📸 https://www.instagram.com/justhorseriders▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@JustHorseRidersOffical🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/7sUBwfQNIG40hRgs8hXbKi#justhorseriders #equestrianpodcast #justhorseriderspodcast #equestriannutrition #guthealth #riderhealth #horseridertips #showdaynutrition0:00 Introduction & Quickfire Round29:30 Meet Kristen Stavridis31:17 Kristen's Equestrian Background33:34 Horses & Mental Wellbeing35:40 Kristen's Nutrition Career Journey39:24 Balanced Diets vs. Extreme Trends44:15 Fasting, Protein & What's Changed49:23 Creatine — The Truth for Riders58:09 Kristen's Daily Diet Explained1:03:20 Fibre, Gut Health & Your Microbiome1:10:31 How Sugar Hijacks Your Gut Bacteria1:13:22 Top Fibre Foods for Busy Riders1:14:34 Electrolytes — Are You Wasting Money?1:20:32 Fuelling for Riding & Competition Days1:26:49 Mucking Out Is a Workout — Eat Accordingly1:32:03 Hydration Tips for Yard & Show Days1:35:59 Skipping Meals & Weight Loss on the Yard1:37:51 Nutrition for Menstrual Health & Menopause1:46:22 Supplements — Less Is More2:02:08 Your Gut & Your Brain — The Connection2:02:50 Competition Nerves & Upset Stomachs2:03:58 Matcha vs. Coffee — Which Is Better?2:05:00 One Habit That Transforms Gut Health2:08:20 Kristen's Final Message to Riders

Episode 31 – Saddle Fitting, Classical Riding & Putting Horse Welfare First with Claire Whitfield from Saddles DirectIn this episode, host Aaron Englander (Just Horse Riders) sits down with Claire Whitfield (Saddles Direct) – classical riding instructor, IASF saddle fitter and BHS Accredited Professional Coach – to dive deep into what really makes a saddle “fit” for both horse and rider. From classical weight aids and rider balance to tree design, reflocking and why “one saddle fits all” is usually a terrible idea, this conversation is packed with practical, horse-first advice.Claire explains how her classical dressage background and training with Sylvia Loch shaped her philosophy: rider position, balance and subtle weight aids aren’t “nice extras” – they’re the foundation for harmony and soundness. We talk about why thicker saddle pads don’t fix poor saddle fit, how to spot red-flag behaviours (like “naughtiness” that’s really pain), when to reflock, why six-monthly saddle checks matter, and how rider height, weight and anatomy all influence what a “correct” saddle looks like in the real world.We also cover common myths (custom = always better, or that expensive = good fit), how often horses really change shape, what to do if you’ve bought the wrong horse/saddle combination, and why storage, age and damage (broken trees, lumpy flocking, dodgy racks) can quietly ruin even the best saddle. If you’ve ever wondered “Is my saddle hurting my horse?” or “Can I safely use one saddle on multiple horses?”, this episode is for you.🎧 Listen, follow & connect with Just Horse Riders: Website – https://www.justhorseriders.co.uk/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/justhorseriders Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/justhorseriders TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@justhorseridersofficial YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@JustHorseRidersOffical Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/7sUBwfQNIG40hRgs8hXbKi Saddles Direct – https://saddlesdirect.co.uk#justhorseriders #equestrianpodcast #justhorseriderspodcast #saddlefitting #saddlefit #classicaldressage #riderbiomechanics #horsewelfare #horsepodcast #equestrian
