In this episode, we hear about the experiences of athletes who rode for division 1 equestrian teams in both the hunt seat and western disciplines. Athletes share insights into their preparations while in high school, what it was like riding on a team, what advice they would give their freshman selves, and what their transition to riding as an amateur / professional was like post-college and how their experience impacted them moving forward. Special thank you to our guests and cohost: Carey Nowacek (Texas A&M, Western), Katherine Schmidt Butler (University of South Carolina, Hunt Seat), Johnna Letchworth Clark (University of South Carolina, Western), Sammi Krauss (University of South Carolina, Hunt Seat), and cohost Lindsey Slack (University of South Carolina, Western).
