The Horse Saddle Rider Podcast

🐴🎙️ Welcome to Horse Saddle Rider – The Podcast That Says What Others Won’t

The world of sport horses isn’t all polished hooves and pretty ribbons. Behind the scenes, there’s a reality too many ignore. Training shortcuts, rider pressure, welfare concerns, general ignorance —who’s really looking out for the horse?

🔥 This podcast isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions:
✔️ When does training cross the line?
✔️ Are some riding for partnership—or for prizes?
✔️ What’s really happening in the industry?
✔️ Who’s holding the industry accountable?

From controversial dressage training methods to high-stakes competition culture, I pull back the curtain on the sport we love—because loving horses means speaking up for them - where others will not.

🎧 Listen now—because the conversation is long overdue.

Caroline Lindsay

I’m a veterinary physiotherapist, graduate sports therapist and certified saddle fitter. I’m also an ex dressage rider and trainer although I have been coaching dressage techniques as part of my consultations to improve rider posture and performance. I’m currently completing a professional doctorate in rider posture, pain and performance. I have written a textbook about rider posture and have almost completed another about improving performance in the horse-saddle-rider combination with manual techniques, exercise therapy and general management.

This podcast contains content from my Horse Saddle Rider YouTube channel and includes guest appearances providing perspectives on equestrian industry insights.
