On today's episode, Liz Daniels is delighted to be joined by Melanie Crouch from Great Horse Products to chat about her 40-year horse owning journey and the inspiration that led her to develop her own products.

Having encountered various equine skin related challenges, Melanie was struggling to find something that really worked.

After 18 months, Mel realised that she had an oil based product that not only worked, but could also promote healthy skin, but a failed attempt at marketing it meant it sat back on the shelf and only used for her own horses.

After an angel card reading, Mel took the £100 left from her business account and decided to spend it on Facebook marketing – and the rest is history.

With the development of additional skin based products, Mel oozes passion as someone who wants to make a difference.

In the follow up to The Gaucho Grannies: 500km ahead, Liz Daniels welcomes back EquiTeam member Dot Still and Hilary Barnard, as they return from the gruelling Gaucho Derby with some amazing stories to share.
With a new appreciation and admiration for the hardy Criollos of Patagonia, the duo recall their highs, lows, and new skills learned as they undertook the challenge of a lifetime, which saw them navigating and camping in the wilderness, descending a cliff on horseback and learning the 'Gaucho way'.
With a team of enthusiastic 'dot watchers' in the UK, the Gaucho Grannies went viral on social media, and today they share their plans for the future, in support of Riders Minds.

In this episode, we're joined by Alex Cocking, fresh from appearing on the hit series All Stars on Horse & Country TV.
Equiteam member Alex shares what it was really like stepping into the spotlight on the show, the inspiration for pushing out of his comfort zone to apply, some behind-the-scenes moments, and what the experience meant for him personally and professionally.

From thinking 'I won't get picked' to realising he had made the final eight riders and getting the opportunity to train with some equestrian icons with his home-produced Orla, Alex tells us who he really bonded with, and getting the Golden Horse Shoe.
