In this enlightening episode of On the Rail podcast, we converse with four distinguished Australian horsewomen, Shelly Lalor, Deanne Warwick, Janet Mansley, and Lara McEachern
The discussion navigates their rich histories in horse showing, contrasts between American and Australian equestrian scenes, the DIY culture of horse training, and the logistical challenges of managing extensive distances in Australia. They highlight youth engagement, economic impacts, and the strong communal support in their equestrian circles.
Additionally, aspirations for the future, the balance between children's education and training, and the growth potential in the ranch riding and amateur sectors are explored.
