Crysta sits down with Brian Henry to tackle some of the biggest trainer vs amateur debates from the trainer’s perspective. They get honest about client expectations, horse show disappointment, communication issues, green horses and riders, maintenance, show spending, and the emotional realities of horse ownership. Brian also shares what life actually looks like as a professional trainer, and why so many problems in the horse world start with expectations that were never properly discussed. It’s funny, practical, slightly uncomfortable at times, and very much one of those “horse people will understand” conversations. Support us by supporting our sponsor!
