Setting yourself up to succeed is something that certainly seems to have worked for this week’s very special guest, Catriona Williams.
Catriona joins EquiTeam’s Liz Daniels from the airport, the day after completing the Cycle4Caroline 1100km marathon bike challenge, in aid of Spinal Research and the British Eventing Support Trust.
Not only did New Zealand rider Cat complete the challenge, but even more inspirationally she completed it on hand bike after a fall in 2002 left her a tetraplegic. Although Catriona is paralysed from the base of her neck down and has limited use of her arms and hand, she is clearly driven to make a difference to all those around her.Donate here: https://givewheel.com/fundraising/4699/cycle4caroline/

EquiTeam's Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings chat about your emotional bucket, knowing when it is empty and ways to fill it back up again.
After an emotionally crazy equestrian week which involved saying a final goodbye to Liz's heart horse, Cianti, a week of dressage camps, lots of highs and learning opportunities with Joules that were tinged with guilt, the sale of a horse, and juggling work and normal life, it was fair to say that the emotional bucket was a little empty!
The pair chat about recognising what you need, and taking steps to fill that bucket, alongside the brilliant support of your equestrian network.Find more about Equiteam - www.equiteam.co.uk

On this week’s episode, Equiteam’s Liz Daniels chats to Senga Riches, Director of All-Steps Formation Riding.
Formation riding is something that the Equiteam founder knew very little about, so when Senga likened it to synchronised swimming, with horses instead of water, we were instantly intrigued.
From being inspired by the Spanish Riding School, to helping with basic schooling, and assisting in confidence growth, Senga’s passion to make formation riding accessible to all is very clear.
With a strong ethos on inclusivity, All-Steps Formation Riding host clinics, competitions and demos all over the UK and are looking for people of all levels to have a go.
