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.

Charlotte Dujardin Episode 13 The Scandal, The Backlash, The Consequences. Double Bridles, Blue Tongues
A controversial issue in competitive dressage, ‘Blue Tongue’, this shocking phenomenon where the horse’s tongue turns blue with excessive rein pressure and restriction has sparked serious concerns among equestrian veterinarian researchers. I discuss key insights from an online article where experts weigh in on what blue tongue really means for horse welfare, why it happens and what, if anything, is being done about it. Is this just a rare occurrence, or is it a symptom of deeper problems in higher level dressage?
