Beyond The Stables – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Nous voilà de retour au Sunshine Tour, pour la deuxième fois cette saison, pour enregistrer sous le soleil et les palmiers. Et aujourd’hui, on a une invitée qu’on attend depuis longtemps, une jeune cavalière française dont vous avez surement beaucoup entendu parler ces derniers temps et qui n’est autre qu’ Inès Joly!

Inès a récemment marqué l’histoire en remportant le prestigieux Grand Prix 5 étoiles de Monaco. Une victoire qui a fait beaucoup de bruit, mais Inès était déjà dans nos radars bien avant. Nous savions que derrière son beau sourire se cachait bien plus et on avait entièrement raison.

Avant de plonger à 100 % dans le monde des chevaux, elle a exploré d’autres horizons, elle était infirmière. Cette expérience rend Inès encore plus inspirante et la distingue de nos autres invités.

Au-delà des résultats, ce qui nous a marqué chez elle, c’est sa bienveillance, son authenticité et cette manière unique de répandre autour d’elle une énergie positive et chaleureuse.

Dans cet épisode, elle se livre avec sincérité sur les réalités parfois dures du haut niveau, mais aussi sur l’amour et le soutien qu’elle a reçus après son triomphe à Monaco. C’est un échange vrai et inspirant, et on espère que vous aussi découvrirez une nouvelle facette de Ines!

At just 24, he’s already made impressive strides. He’s also a graduate of the Young Riders Academy, a program we’ve touched on before with some of our other inspiring guests. Sean shares his thoughts on starting his own venture, his dedication to horsemanship, and the importance of patience in achieving success.

Our Madrid Longines Global Champions Tour series comes to an end with an incredibly special guest: our second British rider and leading Showjumper of the Year, Jodie Hall McAteer.

Last year alone, she attended all 16 LGCT events and 11 World Cups! However, she has traded her boots and helmet for a camera.

Today, we’re diving into the captivating world of equestrian photography with the talented Madeleine.  Photography holds immense power in our sport, freezing in time the breathtaking moments and emotions of showjumping. Through her journalistic approach, Madeleine captures more than just moments – she brings to life the stories and emotions at the heart of the sport - allowing us to continuously relive these precious moments, whenever or wherever we may be.

Today, we have an exciting episode that many in our Spanish community have been eagerly awaiting. Our guest is none other than Maya de la Joya Fernandez Longoria, your current Young Rider Spanish Champion and a junior European team gold and individual silver medalist from the 2019 European Championships.

Maya’s story is unique, different from others we’ve featured mainly because she has chosen not to pursue showjumping professionally. Despite this decision, she continues to ride at the top level for Spain, thriving in the competition ring and enjoying the journey with her horses.

In this episode, you will discover the journey of a rider who has decided to do things differently. We’ll explore Maya's early riding journey and her experiences with different trainers who have shaped her into the champion she is today. Her decision to choose passion over profession offers a refreshing perspective on balancing high-level competition with personal goals.

Maya's experience shows that it's possible to ride at a very high level without making it a professional career. This is an important and often overlooked topic in our sport.  It's okay to choose a different path if professional show jumping is not what you aspire to do. 

We'll also discuss Spain’s growing presence in showjumping, and Maya will introduce us to some of the special horses that have marked her career, highlighting their unique qualities. Maya opens up about dealing with pressure and setbacks, emphasising the importance of self-confidence in overcoming these challenges.

So, join us as Maya shares her journey, and we delve into the inspiring world of showjumping to explore the many ways to define success in the equestrian world !
