Listen With EquiTeam

On this week's podcast, Liz Daniels chats to Equiteam members Hannah MacIntosh, Louise Bone and Helen Robertson about all things BD Quest.
From starting the British Dressage Quest journey, to qualifying for the semi-finals, and enjoying cheesy chips, the trio share their experiences and how the Quest foundations and support have given them the confidence to explore different BD options.

And of course we couldn't forget to mention the Equiteam High Hopes Quest team being nominated for a prestigious BD Award in 2025 – something which made our hearts burst with pride.

EquiTeam's Liz and Lou talk about achieving goals, being honest with ourselves about how much effort we are putting in, and if we need to take more responsibility for what we do in between lessons. The pair emphasise the importance of setting personal goals and focusing on what you can control despite challenges like weather or horse health.

In this week's episode, Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings chat about the meaning of motivation (to move), what motivates them and if they are competitive, how to stay motivated, planning for the year ahead.

Of course, we all know that with horses the journey is never linear – but its how you handle those setbakcs that really matter.

And the questions for everyone to ponder, what itch do you still have left to scratch?

Social media can be amazing and damaging in equal measures and on today's episode Equiteam's Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings explore the positives and negatives of social media, recognising when it's not healthy, and how you can manage your own feeds.

From sharing top tips and their own personal experiences to celebrating the wonderful safe spaces created online, this is a podcast to get you thinking about your own social media use, as well as a reminder to always be kind, as you never know what other people are going through, despite what picture they paint on their social media feeds.

Liz Daniels is joined by EquiTeam member Dot Still and Hilary Barnard, better known as the "Gaucho Grannies", as they prepare to take on the gruelling Gaucho Derby, a 500km adventure race on horseback across the wild landscapes of Patagonia, all in support of Riders Minds.
Both Dot and Hilary have previously represented Great Britain internationally in TREC, so they're no strangers to endurance riding, challenging terrain and complex navigation. But the Gaucho Derby brings a unique twist: it's a true test of horsemanship, with wild camping and semi-feral horses allocated by drawing numbers from a hat.
Riding over 10 days, sleeping in tents, going without showers and navigating the realities of life on the trail, the Argentinian race will push them physically and mentally. In this episode, they share what it takes to prepare for such an extraordinary challenge - from planning and survival skills to mindset, resilience and character.
An inspiring conversation about adventure, determination and stepping well outside your comfort zone.
