“Olympic Rider, Abuse Survivor, Carl Hester Fangirl – Abi Lyle’s Story”
In this raw and powerful episode, we sit down with international dressage rider Abi Lyle, who opens up about her incredible journey to the Olympics—from childhood dreams to riding under the global spotlight.
Abi shares the highs and lows of life in the dressage world, her deep LOVE (like Jenny-level love!) for Carl Hester, and how social media plays a role in her equestrian career—from motivational messages to the... less polite DMs. It's candid, funny, and full of the passion that drives her sport.
But this conversation takes a deeper turn as Abi bravely speaks about surviving coercive control and abuse from convicted murderer Jonathan Crewswell, the heartbreaking loss of her brother, and her current sobriety journey.
This is a story of grit, healing, and rediscovery. Abi’s voice is one of strength and clarity, and we’re honored she chose to share it on the podcast.
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of domestic abuse, grief, and addiction. Please take care while listening.
