🎙️ Episode 30 of the Just Horse Riders Podcast — hosted by Aaron Englander from Just Horse Riders — welcomes Nika Vorster, an international equine chiropractor, former GB dressage rider, and ex-flat jockey, on a mission to help a million horses by helping riders heal themselves.
In this inspiring episode, Nika shares her journey from pony-club beginnings in South Africa to competing for Great Britain at Prix St Georges level, and how her work in chiropractic and biomechanics is changing the way we understand horse-and-rider wellness.
We dive deep into:
🐴 How mindset, nutrition, and movement affect your horse’s performance
💪 Why riding alone isn’t enough to stay fit — and how to train smarter
🌿 The truth about seed oils, cortisol, and rider inflammation
🧘♀️ The link between female hormones, the menstrual cycle & equestrian performance
❤️ Building connection, confidence, and communication with your horse from the ground up
✨ How to read subtle pain signs, work holistically with your vet & team, and create calmer, happier horses
Whether you’re a competitive rider or love hacking on weekends, this episode will help you see that healing your horse starts with healing yourself.
