In this conversation we discuss…

There is so much that is similar to equestrian sports. In fact, I’m currently curious about whether racing (formula one- motorcycle) is the closest sport to equestrian.

Smooth.
Embodied.
Maybe slalom canoe, mountain biking, slalom ski, are similar too. My brain is buzzing….
Worth a listen for sure.
