Special WEG Edition: Heels Down Happy Hour Podcast 32

From the endurance fiasco to heart-bursting wins in dressage, not to mention a looming hurricane, the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games has been an emotional roller coaster so far. This week, we’re discussing all things WEG with a special guest and offering our tips on how to re-train OTTBs. Thanks for tuning in.

Click here to stream episode 32.

Special Guest: 

Brittni Raflowitz is a show jumper based in Wellington, Fla., and Tryon, N.C. She represented the U.S. in the Nations Cup in Europe in 2016. The year before, she was an individual medalist in the NAJYRC and a bronze team medalist. Brittni shows a slew of horses at the grand prix level. She’s on site at Tryon as a spectator for WEG this week.

More about our hosts:

Sally Spickard is a 32-year-old marketer and journalist from Missouri who now resides in San Diego, California. She is an unashamed Harry Potter nerd and Kansas City Chiefs fan, and she can rarely be found without her long-haired Chihuahua, Cooper (and for this reason, you’ll never find her on a United flight!). While she’s currently horseless, Sally is an event rider who hopes to one day ride like Michael Jung. Alternatively, she’d just settle for learning how to sit the trot without looking like a sack of potatoes!
 
Jessica Payne is a 32-year-old international event rider who is rarely seen without her long-haired chihuahua under her arm. She was born in London, Ontario, but grew up in Franklin, Tenn. and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science. She once lost the tip of her pinky finger clipping her 4* horse, and husband Doug says she can “talk to anyone including a wall….and they will like it!”
 
Justine Griffin is an award winning 30-year-old journalist who has written about everything from horses to high profile CEOs to her ovaries. (She donated her eggs once.) Two things she loves the most? Whippet puppies and cheese. Justine is a firm believer in unicorns and feminism. So take everything she says with a grain of salt.
