On today's episode, EquiTeam's Liz and Lou chat about opportunities, do we create our own or are some people just lucky. They talk about opportunities they have had, and why it is important to remember that you don't always see the hard work in the background before someone gets offered something exciting.

Do you need to be bold and ask for chances or rely on being brave enough to say yes in the moment?

Head to EquiTeam to join us with our special Advent offer. 

On today's episode, Liz Daniels is joined by Equine Intimate Health specialist and UK Accredited Training provider, Stacy Harris-Wann as they chat all things sheath cleaning, bean removing, penile cancer and beans in mares.

When Equiteam's Liz Daniels saw a post on Facebook about a groundbreaking study by neuroscientist Gregory Berns, revealing that dogs may love their humans more than food or other dogs—it sparked a deep conversation with fellow horse lover and co-host, Louise Gillings, about the power of connection in the horse world.

Connections are essential because they support our overall well-being by increasing happiness and reducing stress, loneliness, and the risk of mental health issues.

As usual the pair go off piste as their conversations go to mute giraffes, jellyfish with no brains (or nerves) and what it means to truly feel part of a supportive equestrian community.

Whether you love it or loathe it, clipping season is here once again and it is a subject that EquiTeam's Liz Daniels could chat for hours about!

While Liz Somerville is trying to rein Liz D in, the pair chat about their clipping experiences including Liz D being a clipping demonstrator for many years at Your Horse Live.

We've tried to condense it so in this episode you will find lots of helpful tips on everything from preparation to achieving the perfect clip and of course safety and whether we should be wearing hard hats, their favourite clippers and their pet hates.

Join EquiTeam's Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings as they talk all things mental health and well-being on World Mental Health Day (10th October).

The duo looks at what mental health means to them, why saying hello to a stranger might make a difference to their day, and share some personal experiences.

Liz's shameless plug for Riders Minds has a strong messaging about the mental health and well-being support is available for all equestrians, and that it is okay not to be okay.

Join EquiTeam's Liz Daniels and Liz Somerville as they discuss a current topic that has seen a bit of debate on social media – is it time to stop talking about rugging?

From over-rugging, not rugging for welfare purposes to rugging for practical reasons – Liz and Liz share their own thoughts, as well as some research from Dr Marlin, on this hot topic – no pun intended.

While Liz S holds her hands up when it comes to adding an extra rug, Liz D admits to being 'nesh' and has to try hard not to think her horses feel the cold like she does!

Topics include:

• when to rug
• when not to rug 
• how over rugging is contributing to the obesity crisis we have in the UK horse population

The episode that blew our minds! Pauline Cox, functional nutritionist, entrepreneur, and author of Hungry Woman: Eating for good health, happiness and hormones chats to EquiTeam's Liz Daniels about bad habits and three simple things that can change your health.

How many of us are guilty of being fuelled by multiple cups of tea, crave the next biscuit, suffer from a lack of sleep/feel tired all the time, or have constantly changing hormone levels? We know we certainly do!

Pauline shares the science behind why your diet affects your health, happiness, hormones and mental health and why implementing just a few small changes can make a monumental difference.

Just how does someone go from doing their first BE90 to competing at 3* in just two years?

George Bartlett did!

EquiTeam's Liz Daniels chats to event rider George about his incredible journey and the pinnacle of his career so far – an impressive third place in George's first 3*L at Blair International Horse Trials.  

Based at Caunton Manor Stud with Victoria Wright and her team, George first got spotted on the hunting field by Mrs Wright who invited him to the yard to do some hacking out.
George continued to work part time at the yard whilst at university and on completing his degree he was offered a full time position and thought 'Why not?!'

Incredibly grounded and grateful for the opportunities, George attributes his success to Victoria and the team around him who have believed in him from the start.

In this podcast George shares his journey and which controversial guests he would have at his dinner party!

In today's episode Carmen Cumminskey, Managing Director and Founder of FOMO Protection chats all things body protectors, from creating the prototype as a final year Sports Engineering Student using a £12 sewing machine purchased from Amazon, to creating an award-winning business.

Carmen explains the theory behind some of the technology and design, and shares how being a horse rider herself inspired the comfort and fit of the body protectors.

Coupled with an ecliptic dinner table choice, this is an informative and inspiring episode not to be missed.

Most of us will suffer setbacks, a crisis of confidence or loose our mojo at some point and whether it's because we are in the thick of the competition season or at the end of a busy summer with the kids off school, or trying to juggle work, life and holidays, there are plenty of people going through it right now.

Both of EquiTeam's Lizs' have experienced this over the last few weeks in different ways, so sat down to catch up and chat about some good lessons learnt at Blair Horse Trials, how taking the pressure off and being kind to yourself can actually be really beneficial and most of all how important it is to surround yourself with positive and supportive people.

Burghley Horse Trials also features as Liz S is just back from supporting Wills Oakden Eventing who had the most incredible week finishing 5th and 8th on his two horses. But not everyone's Burghley went to plan and it was a good reminder that even the professionals have setbacks and learning days. Make sure you listen to the end to find out which horse they would both like to take home…!
