  Sometimes
• 0:00
  when
• 0:01
  you
• 0:01
  stand
• 0:01
  in
• 0:01
  the
• 0:01
  barn,
• 0:02
  you
• 0:02
  look
• 0:03
  outside
• 0:03
  and
• 0:03
  you're
• 0:04
  just
• 0:04
  watching
• 0:04
  a
• 0:05
  typical
• 0:05
  day.
• 0:06
  Horses
• 0:06
  are
• 0:07
  getting
• 0:07
  ridden,
• 0:08
  lessons
• 0:08
  are
• 0:08
  happening,
• 0:09
  everything
• 0:09
  looks
• 0:10
  familiar,
• 0:11
  and
• 0:11
  then
• 0:12
  you
• 0:12
  realize
• 0:12
  something
• 0:13
  you're
• 0:14
  not
• 0:14
  really
• 0:15
  expected
• 0:16
  or
• 0:16
  allowed
• 0:17
  to
• 0:17
  do.
• 0:17
  Some
• 0:17
  of
• 0:18
  the
• 0:18
  things
• 0:18
  you
• 0:18
  used
• 0:18
  to
• 0:19
  do
• 0:20
  years
• 0:20
  ago,
• 0:20
  when
• 0:21
  many
• 0:21
  of
• 0:21
  us
• 0:21
  were
• 0:22
  learning
• 0:22
  to
• 0:22
  ride,
• 0:23
  you
• 0:23
  practiced
• 0:24
  what
• 0:24
  you
• 0:24
  learned,
• 0:25
  you
• 0:26
  rode
• 0:26
  your
• 0:26
  horse,
• 0:27
  you
• 0:27
  worked
• 0:28
  through
• 0:28
  problems,
• 0:29
  sometimes
• 0:30
  you
• 0:30
  struggled
• 0:30
  through
• 0:31
  them,
• 0:32
  sometimes
• 0:32
  you
• 0:32
  figured
• 0:33
  things
• 0:33
  out
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  hard
• 0:33
  way.
• 0:34
  But
• 0:34
  that
• 0:35
  was
• 0:35
  part
• 0:35
  of
• 0:35
  learning
• 0:36
  the
• 0:36
  sport.
• 0:37
  Today,
• 0:38
  the
• 0:38
  structure
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  many
• 0:39
  training
• 0:40
  barns
• 0:40
  feels
• 0:40
  a
• 0:41
  little
• 0:41
  different.
• 0:42
  And
• 0:42
  that
• 0:42
  difference
• 0:43
  isn't
• 0:43
  really
• 0:44
  about
• 0:44
  philosophy.
• 0:45
  It's
• 0:46
  about
• 0:46
  how
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  structure
• 0:47
  of
• 0:47
  this
• 0:48
  sport
• 0:48
  has
• 0:49
  evolved.
• 0:50
  This
• 0:50
  is
• 0:50
  two
• 0:51
  point
• 0:51
  perspective.
• 0:52
  Two
• 0:52
  riders
• 0:53
  with
• 0:53
  different
• 0:53
  viewpoints
• 0:54
  from
• 0:54
  different
• 0:55
  generations
• 0:56
  talking
• 0:56
  about
• 0:56
  the
• 0:57
  same
• 0:57
  sport.
• 0:59
  Well,
• 1:00
  today
• 1:00
  it's
• 1:01
  just
• 1:01
  me.
• 1:02
  Reynolds
• 1:03
  recently
• 1:03
  started
• 1:04
  chemo,
• 1:04
  so
• 1:05
  for
• 1:05
  the
• 1:05
  next
• 1:05
  little
• 1:06
  while,
• 1:06
  we'll
• 1:06
  just
• 1:07
  see
• 1:07
  how
• 1:07
  she's
• 1:07
  feeling
• 1:08
  and
• 1:08
  whether
• 1:08
  or
• 1:08
  not
• 1:09
  she's
• 1:09
  able
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  join
• 1:10
  us.
• 1:11
  In
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  meantime,
• 1:12
  I
• 1:12
  know
• 1:12
  she
• 1:13
  would
• 1:13
  really
• 1:13
  appreciate
• 1:14
  everyone
• 1:14
  keeping
• 1:15
  her
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  their
• 1:16
  thoughts
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  prayers.
• 1:18
  The
• 1:18
  whole
• 1:18
  idea
• 1:19
  behind
• 1:19
  Two
• 1:19
  Point
• 1:20
  Perspective
• 1:21
  is
• 1:21
  that
• 1:21
  Reynolds
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  I
• 1:22
  are
• 1:23
  looking
• 1:23
  at
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  same
• 1:24
  sport
• 1:25
  just
• 1:25
  from
• 1:25
  slightly
• 1:25
  different
• 1:26
  places.
• 1:27
  We
• 1:27
  actually
• 1:28
  share
• 1:28
  many
• 1:28
  of
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  same
• 1:29
  early
• 1:30
  experiences
• 1:30
  in
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  sport,
• 1:31
  but
• 1:32
  today
• 1:33
  our
• 1:33
  perspectives
• 1:34
  are
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  little
• 1:34
  different.
• 1:36
  Reynolds
• 1:36
  understands
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  professional
• 1:38
  side
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  sport,
• 1:39
  how
• 1:39
  barns
• 1:40
  operate,
• 1:41
  how
• 1:41
  horses
• 1:41
  are
• 1:42
  developed,
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  how
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  business
• 1:43
  actually
• 1:44
  works.
• 1:45
  But
• 1:45
  my
• 1:45
  perspective
• 1:46
  comes
• 1:47
  from
• 1:47
  a
• 1:47
  slightly
• 1:48
  different
• 1:48
  angle.
• 1:50
  Like
• 1:51
  many
• 1:51
  adult
• 1:51
  amateurs
• 1:52
  I
• 1:53
  rode
• 1:53
  years
• 1:53
  ago,
• 1:54
  I
• 1:55
  stepped
• 1:55
  away
• 1:55
  from
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  sport
• 1:56
  for
• 1:56
  a
• 1:57
  long
• 1:57
  time
• 1:57
  and
• 1:57
  then
• 1:58
  came
• 1:58
  back
• 1:58
  later.
• 2:00
  And
• 2:00
  when
• 2:00
  you
• 2:00
  come
• 2:00
  back
• 2:01
  after
• 2:01
  that
• 2:01
  kind
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  gap,
• 2:03
  you
• 2:03
  start
• 2:03
  noticing
• 2:04
  things.
• 2:06
  Sometimes
• 2:06
  it
• 2:06
  happens
• 2:07
  quietly,
• 2:08
  sometimes
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  happens
• 2:09
  in
• 2:09
  conversations.
• 2:10
  I
• 2:11
  actually
• 2:11
  have
• 2:11
  a
• 2:12
  barn
• 2:12
  friend
• 2:12
  who
• 2:13
  calls
• 2:13
  me
• 2:13
  all
• 2:13
  the
• 2:14
  time.
• 2:14
  When
• 2:14
  she's
• 2:14
  having
• 2:15
  one
• 2:15
  of
• 2:15
  these
• 2:15
  moments,
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  phone
• 2:17
  will
• 2:17
  ring
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  the
• 2:18
  conversation
• 2:18
  usually
• 2:19
  starts
• 2:19
  with
• 2:19
  something
• 2:20
  like,
• 2:20
  wait
• 2:20
  a
• 2:21
  second,
• 2:22
  is
• 2:22
  this
• 2:23
  how
• 2:23
  it
• 2:23
  works
• 2:24
  now?
• 2:25
  And
• 2:25
  what
• 2:26
  she's
• 2:26
  reacting
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  is
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  realization
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  the
• 2:30
  structure
• 2:30
  of
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  sport
• 2:31
  has
• 2:32
  changed.
• 2:33
  Not
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  values,
• 2:34
  but
• 2:34
  the
• 2:35
  structure
• 2:35
  around
• 2:36
  them.
• 2:37
  And
• 2:37
  that's
• 2:38
  what
• 2:38
  I
• 2:38
  really
• 2:38
  want
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  talk
• 2:39
  about
• 2:39
  today.
• 2:40
  Let
• 2:40
  me
• 2:40
  tell
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  about
• 2:41
  a
• 2:41
  moment
• 2:42
  that
• 2:42
  really
• 2:42
  captures
• 2:43
  what
• 2:43
  riding
• 2:44
  used
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  feel
• 2:45
  like.
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  had
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  horse
• 2:47
  that
• 2:47
  was
• 2:48
  really
• 2:48
  green
• 2:49
  the
• 2:50
  week
• 2:50
  before
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  show.
• 2:51
  My
• 2:51
  trainer
• 2:52
  would
• 2:52
  get
• 2:52
  on
• 2:52
  him
• 2:52
  once
• 2:52
  or
• 2:53
  twice
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  help
• 2:54
  sort
• 2:54
  something
• 2:55
  out,
• 2:55
  but
• 2:56
  that
• 2:56
  was
• 2:56
  it.
• 2:57
  When
• 2:57
  the
• 2:58
  horse
• 2:58
  show
• 2:58
  came
• 2:58
  around,
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  rode
• 3:00
  him.
• 3:01
  Not
• 3:01
  perfectly,
• 3:01
  of
• 3:02
  course.
• 3:02
  Some
• 3:03
  rounds
• 3:03
  were
• 3:03
  great
• 3:04
  and
• 3:05
  some
• 3:05
  were
• 3:06
  less
• 3:07
  than
• 3:07
  great,
• 3:08
  but
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  expectation
• 3:09
  was
• 3:09
  clear.
• 3:10
  You
• 3:11
  rode
• 3:11
  your
• 3:11
  horse
• 3:12
  and
• 3:12
  you
• 3:12
  learned
• 3:13
  how
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  manage
• 3:13
  him.
• 3:14
  You
• 3:15
  learned
• 3:15
  how
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  get
• 3:15
  him
• 3:15
  into
• 3:16
  the
• 3:16
  ring
• 3:16
  and
• 3:16
  then
• 3:17
  get
• 3:17
  around
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  ring.
• 3:19
  Sometimes
• 3:20
  that
• 3:20
  meant
• 3:21
  figuring
• 3:21
  out
• 3:21
  things
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  Hard
• 3:22
  way.
• 3:23
  But
• 3:23
  that
• 3:23
  experience,
• 3:25
  learning
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  horse
• 3:26
  yourself,
• 3:27
  was
• 3:27
  central
• 3:27
  to
• 3:28
  how
• 3:28
  many
• 3:28
  riders
• 3:29
  came
• 3:29
  up
• 3:29
  in
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  sport.
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  remember
• 3:32
  my
• 3:32
  mother
• 3:32
  being
• 3:33
  absolutely
• 3:33
  horrified
• 3:34
  that
• 3:34
  I
• 3:35
  was
• 3:35
  riding
• 3:35
  against
• 3:36
  grown
• 3:36
  adult
• 3:37
  men.
• 3:38
  They
• 3:38
  were
• 3:39
  amateurs
• 3:39
  too,
• 3:40
  but
• 3:41
  riding
• 3:41
  in
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  green
• 3:42
  division,
• 3:42
  and
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  that
• 3:43
  division,
• 3:44
  everyone
• 3:45
  rode
• 3:45
  together.
• 3:46
  It
• 3:46
  didn't
• 3:46
  matter.
• 3:47
  Adults,
• 3:47
  juniors,
• 3:48
  whoever
• 3:49
  had
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  green
• 3:50
  horse,
• 3:51
  age
• 3:51
  didn't
• 3:52
  matter.
• 3:52
  And
• 3:53
  of
• 3:53
  course,
• 3:53
  there
• 3:54
  were
• 3:54
  still
• 3:54
  junior
• 3:55
  and
• 3:55
  adult
• 3:56
  or
• 3:56
  amateur
• 3:57
  divisions
• 3:57
  as
• 3:58
  well,
• 3:58
  just
• 3:58
  like
• 3:58
  there
• 3:59
  are
• 3:59
  today.
• 4:00
  But
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  culture
• 4:01
  around
• 4:01
  it
• 4:02
  definitely
• 4:03
  felt
• 4:03
  different.
• 4:05
  The
• 4:05
  way
• 4:05
  barns
• 4:06
  operated
• 4:07
  reflected
• 4:08
  that
• 4:08
  culture.
• 4:09
  In
• 4:10
  many
• 4:10
  barns,
• 4:10
  the
• 4:11
  trainer's
• 4:12
  primary
• 4:12
  role
• 4:13
  was
• 4:13
  teaching.
• 4:14
  They
• 4:15
  absolutely
• 4:15
  rode
• 4:16
  horses
• 4:16
  when
• 4:16
  they
• 4:16
  needed
• 4:17
  to,
• 4:18
  but
• 4:18
  most
• 4:18
  of
• 4:19
  their
• 4:19
  time
• 4:19
  was
• 4:19
  spent
• 4:20
  developing
• 4:20
  riders.
• 4:21
  They
• 4:21
  taught
• 4:22
  lessons,
• 4:23
  they
• 4:23
  coached,
• 4:24
  they
• 4:24
  helped
• 4:24
  riders
• 4:25
  figure
• 4:25
  things
• 4:25
  out.
• 4:26
  And
• 4:26
  if
• 4:27
  a
• 4:27
  horse
• 4:27
  needed
• 4:27
  schooling,
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  trainer
• 4:29
  might
• 4:29
  get
• 4:29
  on.
• 4:30
  But.
• 4:30
  But
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  expectation
• 4:32
  was
• 4:32
  still
• 4:32
  that
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  rider
• 4:33
  would
• 4:34
  learn
• 4:34
  how
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  ride
• 4:34
  the
• 4:35
  horse
• 4:35
  themselves.
• 4:36
  And
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  culture
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  barns
• 4:38
  reflected
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  too.
• 4:40
  The
• 4:40
  idea
• 4:41
  of
• 4:41
  a
• 4:41
  working
• 4:42
  student
• 4:43
  was
• 4:43
  basically
• 4:44
  non
• 4:44
  existent.
• 4:45
  I
• 4:45
  don't
• 4:45
  think
• 4:45
  I
• 4:46
  ever
• 4:46
  heard
• 4:46
  of
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  working
• 4:47
  student
• 4:47
  before.
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  wish
• 4:48
  I
• 4:49
  had,
• 4:49
  because
• 4:50
  in
• 4:50
  most
• 4:51
  barns
• 4:52
  everyone
• 4:53
  was
• 4:53
  a
• 4:53
  working
• 4:53
  student.
• 4:54
  You
• 4:55
  rode,
• 4:55
  you
• 4:56
  held
• 4:56
  horses
• 4:57
  for
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  ferrier
• 4:58
  or
• 4:58
  for
• 4:58
  the
• 4:59
  vet.
• 4:59
  You
• 5:00
  learned.
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  think
• 5:01
  the
• 5:02
  term
• 5:02
  these
• 5:02
  days
• 5:02
  is
• 5:03
  barn
• 5:03
  rats.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  was
• 5:04
  one.
• 5:05
  And
• 5:06
  that
• 5:06
  was
• 5:06
  simply
• 5:06
  part
• 5:06
  of
• 5:07
  being
• 5:07
  in
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  sport.
• 5:09
  Another
• 5:09
  factor
• 5:09
  that
• 5:10
  shaped
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  time
• 5:11
  was
• 5:11
  amateur
• 5:12
  status.
• 5:13
  For
• 5:13
  many
• 5:14
  years,
• 5:14
  riders
• 5:15
  who
• 5:15
  had
• 5:15
  Olympic
• 5:16
  ambitions
• 5:17
  actually
• 5:17
  had
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  remain
• 5:18
  amateurs.
• 5:20
  Under
• 5:20
  the
• 5:21
  rules
• 5:21
  at
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  time,
• 5:22
  becoming
• 5:22
  a
• 5:23
  professional
• 5:23
  could
• 5:24
  make
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  ineligible
• 5:25
  for
• 5:26
  Olympic
• 5:26
  competition.
• 5:28
  So
• 5:28
  riders
• 5:28
  who
• 5:29
  hoped
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  compete
• 5:29
  at
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  highest
• 5:30
  levels
• 5:31
  were
• 5:31
  often
• 5:32
  very
• 5:32
  careful
• 5:33
  about
• 5:33
  protecting
• 5:33
  their
• 5:34
  amateur
• 5:34
  status.
• 5:36
  Turning
• 5:36
  professional
• 5:37
  wasn't
• 5:38
  just
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  label.
• 5:39
  It
• 5:39
  could
• 5:39
  change
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  entire
• 5:40
  direction
• 5:41
  of
• 5:42
  your
• 5:42
  riding
• 5:42
  career.
• 5:44
  Because
• 5:44
  of
• 5:44
  that,
• 5:45
  many
• 5:45
  riders
• 5:46
  tried
• 5:46
  to
• 5:46
  stay
• 5:47
  amateurs
• 5:47
  while
• 5:48
  still
• 5:48
  competing
• 5:49
  seriously
• 5:50
  in
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  sport.
• 5:51
  Typically,
• 5:52
  that
• 5:53
  meant
• 5:53
  finding
• 5:54
  an
• 5:54
  owner
• 5:54
  or
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  sponsor
• 5:55
  who
• 5:55
  would
• 5:56
  support
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  horses,
• 5:57
  while
• 5:57
  while
• 5:57
  the
• 5:58
  rider
• 5:58
  was
• 5:58
  able
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  keep
• 5:59
  their
• 5:59
  amateur
• 6:00
  status.
• 6:01
  At
• 6:01
  the
• 6:02
  same
• 6:02
  time,
• 6:03
  there
• 6:03
  were
• 6:03
  professional
• 6:04
  riders
• 6:05
  who
• 6:05
  were
• 6:05
  often
• 6:06
  riding
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  string
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  horses
• 6:08
  for
• 6:08
  individual
• 6:09
  owners.
• 6:10
  Riders
• 6:11
  like
• 6:11
  Rodney
• 6:11
  Jenkins
• 6:12
  made
• 6:13
  careers
• 6:14
  riding
• 6:14
  professionally
• 6:15
  for
• 6:15
  those
• 6:15
  owners.
• 6:17
  Meanwhile,
• 6:18
  riders
• 6:19
  like
• 6:19
  Michael
• 6:19
  Matz,
• 6:20
  Ann
• 6:20
  Krasinski
• 6:21
  and
• 6:21
  Melanie
• 6:21
  Smith
• 6:22
  were
• 6:23
  protecting
• 6:23
  their
• 6:24
  amateur
• 6:24
  status
• 6:25
  while
• 6:25
  competing
• 6:26
  at
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  highest
• 6:27
  levels.
• 6:28
  It
• 6:28
  was
• 6:29
  simply
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  different
• 6:30
  landscape.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:31
  as
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  sport
• 6:32
  grew,
• 6:33
  that
• 6:34
  landscape
• 6:34
  began
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  change.
• 6:37
  Over
• 6:38
  time,
• 6:38
  another
• 6:38
  shift
• 6:39
  started
• 6:39
  to
• 6:40
  happen.
• 6:41
  Barns
• 6:42
  began
• 6:42
  to
• 6:42
  organize
• 6:43
  themselves
• 6:43
  more
• 6:43
  clearly
• 6:44
  around
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  show
• 6:46
  circuit.
• 6:47
  The
• 6:47
  rhythm
• 6:47
  of
• 6:47
  the
• 6:48
  barn
• 6:48
  started
• 6:49
  revolving
• 6:49
  around
• 6:50
  preparing
• 6:50
  horses
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  compete,
• 6:53
  traveling
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  shows,
• 6:54
  keeping
• 6:55
  horses
• 6:55
  competitive
• 6:56
  in
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  ring.
• 6:57
  And
• 6:57
  as
• 6:58
  that
• 6:58
  focus
• 6:58
  grew,
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  structure
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  many
• 7:01
  barns
• 7:01
  began
• 7:01
  to
• 7:02
  change.
• 7:03
  Clients
• 7:04
  increasingly
• 7:05
  came
• 7:05
  into
• 7:05
  programs
• 7:06
  with
• 7:06
  their
• 7:06
  own
• 7:06
  horses,
• 7:08
  or
• 7:08
  they
• 7:08
  leased
• 7:08
  horses
• 7:09
  that
• 7:09
  they
• 7:09
  could
• 7:10
  show
• 7:11
  lease.
• 7:12
  Programs
• 7:12
  became
• 7:13
  More
• 7:13
  common
• 7:14
  because
• 7:14
  in
• 7:15
  my
• 7:15
  day,
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  lease
• 7:16
  was
• 7:17
  unheard
• 7:17
  of,
• 7:18
  it
• 7:18
  was
• 7:18
  non
• 7:18
  existent.
• 7:20
  And
• 7:20
  as
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  day
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  day
• 7:21
  life
• 7:21
  of
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  barn
• 7:22
  began
• 7:22
  to
• 7:23
  revolve
• 7:23
  more
• 7:23
  directly
• 7:24
  around
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  show
• 7:25
  schedule,
• 7:26
  which
• 7:27
  meant
• 7:27
  preparing
• 7:28
  horses,
• 7:29
  maintaining
• 7:30
  horses
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  keeping
• 7:31
  them
• 7:31
  competitive.
• 7:33
  When
• 7:33
  a
• 7:33
  program
• 7:34
  becomes
• 7:34
  centered
• 7:35
  around
• 7:35
  that
• 7:35
  kind
• 7:36
  of
• 7:36
  show
• 7:36
  schedule,
• 7:37
  the
• 7:38
  structure
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  barn
• 7:39
  has
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  shift
• 7:40
  with
• 7:40
  it
• 7:40
  because
• 7:41
  horses
• 7:41
  need
• 7:42
  consistent
• 7:42
  work
• 7:43
  if
• 7:44
  that's
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  job
• 7:45
  they're
• 7:45
  going
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  do
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  someone
• 7:47
  has
• 7:48
  to
• 7:48
  be
• 7:48
  riding
• 7:48
  them
• 7:49
  regularly
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  keep
• 7:50
  them
• 7:50
  ready
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  compete.
• 7:52
  Today,
• 7:53
  many
• 7:54
  training
• 7:54
  barns
• 7:55
  operate
• 7:56
  on
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  much
• 7:57
  larger
• 7:57
  and
• 7:58
  more
• 7:58
  organized
• 7:59
  scale.
• 8:00
  There
• 8:00
  may
• 8:01
  be
• 8:01
  an
• 8:01
  assistant
• 8:02
  trainer
• 8:02
  and
• 8:02
  there
• 8:03
  could
• 8:03
  be
• 8:03
  many
• 8:04
  young
• 8:04
  professional
• 8:05
  riders
• 8:05
  and
• 8:06
  working
• 8:06
  students.
• 8:08
  That
• 8:08
  means
• 8:08
  there
• 8:09
  are
• 8:09
  several
• 8:09
  riders
• 8:10
  who
• 8:10
  are
• 8:10
  available
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  help
• 8:11
  keep
• 8:12
  horses
• 8:12
  fit
• 8:12
  and
• 8:13
  progressing
• 8:14
  during
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  week.
• 8:16
  Many
• 8:16
  of
• 8:16
  those
• 8:16
  riders
• 8:17
  are
• 8:17
  extremely
• 8:18
  talented
• 8:18
  and
• 8:19
  they
• 8:19
  are
• 8:19
  building
• 8:20
  careers
• 8:20
  in
• 8:20
  the
• 8:21
  sport.
• 8:22
  In
• 8:22
  so
• 8:22
  many
• 8:23
  programs,
• 8:24
  these
• 8:24
  riders
• 8:25
  are
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  ones
• 8:25
  who
• 8:25
  are
• 8:25
  putting
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  miles
• 8:26
  on
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  horses
• 8:27
  every
• 8:28
  day.
• 8:29
  Not
• 8:29
  because
• 8:30
  amateurs
• 8:30
  can't
• 8:31
  ride
• 8:31
  them,
• 8:32
  but
• 8:32
  because
• 8:32
  many
• 8:33
  amateurs
• 8:33
  have
• 8:33
  work,
• 8:34
  families
• 8:35
  and
• 8:35
  other
• 8:35
  responsibilities
• 8:36
  that
• 8:37
  make
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  really
• 8:37
  hard
• 8:38
  for
• 8:38
  them
• 8:38
  to
• 8:38
  ride
• 8:39
  that
• 8:39
  often.
• 8:40
  Also,
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  structure
• 8:41
  of
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  modern
• 8:42
  show
• 8:43
  program
• 8:44
  depends
• 8:44
  on
• 8:45
  horses
• 8:45
  being
• 8:46
  consistently
• 8:46
  prepared
• 8:47
  for
• 8:47
  competition.
• 8:49
  This
• 8:49
  system
• 8:50
  didn't
• 8:50
  appear
• 8:50
  overnight.
• 8:52
  It
• 8:52
  evolved
• 8:53
  as
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  sport
• 8:54
  has
• 8:54
  become
• 8:54
  larger,
• 8:55
  more
• 8:56
  competitive
• 8:56
  and
• 8:57
  more
• 8:57
  organized
• 8:58
  around
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  show
• 8:59
  ring.
• 9:00
  And
• 9:01
  you
• 9:01
  can
• 9:01
  actually
• 9:01
  hear
• 9:02
  trainers
• 9:02
  talking
• 9:03
  about
• 9:03
  this
• 9:03
  pressure
• 9:04
  today.
• 9:05
  Here's
• 9:06
  how
• 9:06
  English
• 9:07
  Ivy
• 9:07
  Farms
• 9:08
  described
• 9:08
  it
• 9:08
  in
• 9:08
  a
• 9:09
  TikTok
• 9:09
  this
• 9:10
  week.
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  gotta
• 9:11
  be
• 9:11
  like
• 9:11
  an
• 9:12
  advertising
• 9:12
  expert
• 9:13
  and
• 9:13
  make
• 9:13
  some
• 9:13
  stupid
• 9:14
  bulletin
• 9:15
  or
• 9:15
  whatever
• 9:16
  they
• 9:16
  call
• 9:16
  fly
• 9:16
  or
• 9:16
  some,
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  don't
• 9:17
  know,
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  just,
• 9:18
  I
• 9:18
  just
• 9:18
  want
• 9:19
  teach
• 9:19
  people
• 9:19
  to
• 9:19
  ride
• 9:19
  horses.
• 9:20
  Why
• 9:20
  do
• 9:20
  I
• 9:21
  have
• 9:21
  to
• 9:21
  be
• 9:21
  a
• 9:22
  social
• 9:22
  media
• 9:23
  marketing
• 9:24
  expert
• 9:24
  manager?
• 9:25
  Like
• 9:25
  all
• 9:26
  these
• 9:26
  things,
• 9:26
  it's
• 9:26
  too
• 9:26
  much.
• 9:27
  That
• 9:27
  moment
• 9:28
  captures
• 9:29
  something
• 9:29
  important
• 9:30
  about
• 9:30
  how
• 9:30
  the
• 9:31
  sport
• 9:31
  has
• 9:31
  evolved.
• 9:33
  Trainers
• 9:33
  today
• 9:34
  aren't
• 9:34
  just
• 9:35
  teaching
• 9:35
  riders,
• 9:36
  they're
• 9:37
  running
• 9:37
  complex
• 9:38
  businesses.
• 9:39
  And
• 9:39
  the
• 9:40
  structure
• 9:40
  of
• 9:40
  the
• 9:41
  modern
• 9:41
  show
• 9:41
  barns
• 9:42
  reflect
• 9:43
  that
• 9:43
  reality.
• 9:44
  And
• 9:44
  as
• 9:44
  we
• 9:45
  said,
• 9:45
  for
• 9:46
  riders
• 9:46
  who
• 9:46
  are
• 9:47
  returning
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  sport
• 9:48
  after
• 9:48
  many
• 9:48
  years
• 9:49
  away,
• 9:50
  one
• 9:50
  of
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  things
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  start
• 9:51
  to
• 9:51
  realize
• 9:52
  is
• 9:52
  that
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  structure
• 9:53
  of
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  sport
• 9:54
  has
• 9:54
  changed.
• 9:55
  And
• 9:56
  if
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  choose
• 9:56
  to
• 9:57
  ride
• 9:57
  in
• 9:57
  a
• 9:57
  show
• 9:58
  barn,
• 9:59
  you're
• 9:59
  stepping
• 9:59
  into
• 10:00
  a
• 10:00
  program
• 10:01
  that's
• 10:01
  been
• 10:01
  built
• 10:01
  around
• 10:02
  horses
• 10:03
  in
• 10:03
  training
• 10:04
  and
• 10:04
  competition.
• 10:06
  Multiple
• 10:06
  riders
• 10:07
  may
• 10:07
  be
• 10:07
  involved
• 10:08
  in
• 10:08
  keeping
• 10:08
  your
• 10:08
  horses
• 10:09
  fit
• 10:09
  and
• 10:09
  progressing.
• 10:11
  And
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  entire
• 10:12
  system
• 10:12
  is
• 10:12
  organized
• 10:13
  around
• 10:13
  preparing
• 10:14
  horses
• 10:14
  for
• 10:15
  competition.
• 10:17
  So
• 10:17
  returning
• 10:17
  amateurs
• 10:18
  often
• 10:19
  find
• 10:19
  themselves
• 10:19
  adapting
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  that
• 10:21
  structure
• 10:22
  rather
• 10:22
  than
• 10:22
  shaping
• 10:23
  it
• 10:23
  the
• 10:23
  way
• 10:23
  riders
• 10:24
  sometimes
• 10:24
  did
• 10:25
  years
• 10:25
  ago.
• 10:26
  And
• 10:27
  that
• 10:27
  isn't
• 10:27
  necessarily
• 10:28
  a
• 10:28
  problem.
• 10:29
  It's
• 10:29
  simply
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  result
• 10:31
  of
• 10:31
  how
• 10:31
  the
• 10:32
  sport
• 10:32
  has
• 10:33
  evolved.
• 10:35
  Eventually,
• 10:36
  most
• 10:36
  riders
• 10:37
  arrive
• 10:37
  at
• 10:37
  the
• 10:37
  same
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  values
• 10:40
  of
• 10:40
  the
• 10:40
  sport
• 10:40
  didn't
• 10:41
  disappear
• 10:42
  Horsemanship
• 10:43
  didn't
• 10:44
  disappear,
• 10:45
  but
• 10:45
  the
• 10:45
  structure
• 10:46
  of
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  sport
• 10:47
  changed
• 10:48
  all
• 10:49
  of
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  sudden.
• 10:49
  Horse
• 10:50
  shows
• 10:50
  are
• 10:50
  much
• 10:51
  bigger
• 10:51
  and
• 10:52
  many
• 10:52
  local
• 10:52
  venues
• 10:53
  have
• 10:53
  completely
• 10:54
  disappeared.
• 10:55
  Competition
• 10:56
  has
• 10:56
  begun
• 10:57
  revolving
• 10:58
  around
• 10:58
  large
• 10:59
  equestrian
• 11:00
  centers
• 11:00
  and
• 11:01
  multi
• 11:01
  week
• 11:01
  circuits.
• 11:03
  So
• 11:03
  travel
• 11:04
  has
• 11:04
  become
• 11:05
  a
• 11:05
  central
• 11:06
  part
• 11:06
  of
• 11:06
  the
• 11:06
  sport.
• 11:07
  Therefore,
• 11:08
  liability
• 11:08
  is
• 11:09
  increased
• 11:09
  and
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  cost
• 11:10
  of
• 11:11
  operating
• 11:11
  training
• 11:12
  barns
• 11:12
  has
• 11:13
  risen
• 11:13
  right
• 11:14
  along
• 11:14
  with
• 11:14
  it.
• 11:15
  So
• 11:15
  barns
• 11:16
  adapted,
• 11:17
  and
• 11:17
  once
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  structure
• 11:18
  of
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  sport
• 11:19
  changed,
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  way
• 11:21
  barns
• 11:21
  operate
• 11:22
  had
• 11:22
  to
• 11:23
  change
• 11:23
  with
• 11:23
  it.
• 11:25
  And
• 11:26
  that
• 11:26
  leads
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  another
• 11:27
  important
• 11:27
  piece
• 11:28
  of
• 11:28
  the
• 11:28
  modern
• 11:29
  training
• 11:29
  barn.
• 11:31
  Someone
• 11:31
  has
• 11:31
  to
• 11:32
  ride
• 11:32
  all
• 11:32
  those
• 11:32
  horses.
• 11:33
  Years
• 11:34
  ago,
• 11:34
  that
• 11:34
  was
• 11:35
  often
• 11:35
  the
• 11:36
  trainer,
• 11:37
  sometimes
• 11:37
  the
• 11:38
  amateur
• 11:38
  rider.
• 11:38
  But
• 11:39
  today
• 11:39
  that
• 11:40
  role
• 11:40
  is
• 11:40
  increasingly
• 11:41
  filled
• 11:41
  by
• 11:42
  another
• 11:42
  group
• 11:42
  of
• 11:42
  riders,
• 11:44
  young
• 11:44
  professionals.
• 11:46
  They're
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  riders
• 11:47
  putting
• 11:47
  miles
• 11:48
  on
• 11:48
  horses
• 11:48
  every
• 11:49
  day,
• 11:49
  helping
• 11:50
  to
• 11:50
  develop
• 11:50
  young
• 11:51
  horses,
• 11:51
  keeping
• 11:52
  horses
• 11:52
  tuned
• 11:53
  up
• 11:53
  between
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  horse
• 11:54
  shows.
• 11:55
  And
• 11:55
  they've
• 11:55
  become
• 11:56
  one
• 11:56
  of
• 11:56
  the
• 11:56
  most
• 11:56
  important
• 11:57
  and
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  me,
• 11:58
  one
• 11:58
  of
• 11:58
  the
• 11:59
  most
• 11:59
  interesting
• 11:59
  parts
• 12:00
  of
• 12:00
  the
• 12:00
  modern
• 12:00
  horse
• 12:01
  world.
• 12:03
  So
• 12:03
  in
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  next
• 12:03
  episode,
• 12:05
  I
• 12:05
  want
• 12:05
  to
• 12:05
  talk
• 12:05
  about
• 12:06
  the
• 12:06
  young
• 12:06
  professional
• 12:07
  landscape.
• 12:08
  Because
• 12:09
  if
• 12:09
  the
• 12:09
  structure
• 12:10
  of
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  sport
• 12:10
  changed
• 12:11
  the
• 12:11
  way
• 12:11
  barns
• 12:12
  operate,
• 12:13
  young
• 12:13
  professionals
• 12:14
  are
• 12:14
  one
• 12:15
  of
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  clearest
• 12:15
  examples
• 12:16
  of
• 12:17
  how
• 12:17
  that
• 12:17
  evolution
• 12:18
  plays
• 12:18
  out
• 12:19
  day
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  day.
• 12:20
  Thanks
• 12:20
  for
• 12:20
  listening
• 12:21
  to
• 12:21
  two
• 12:21
  point
• 12:22
  perspective.
• 12:23
  And
• 12:23
  until
• 12:23
  next
• 12:24
  week,
• 12:25
  let's
• 12:26
  ride.
