We chat with FEI trainer Jordan LaPlaca about the importance of mental health, balance, and physical strength for riders, and how prioritizing the human side of the partnership can improve performance, confidence, and longevity in the sport. The conversation highlights how rider wellness directly affects the horse and why caring for the rider should be viewed as essential, not optional.
