We spend countless hours training our horses. But how often do we train ourselves?
In this episode of The Stable Hour, host Eva Cappelen sits down with Equestrian Fitness Coach Nina Hammarström to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of equestrian performance: the rider.
From strength and balance to mobility, nutrition and recovery, Nina explains how your own body directly influences your horse's movement, communication and performance. The best part?

Together, we discuss:
• Why rider fitness may be your biggest untapped performance advantage
• How your body affects your horse more than you think
• Core strength, balance and mobility
• Pelvic pain, lower back pain and common rider asymmetries
• Training for different horses and disciplines
• How to build a simple, sustainable training routine
• Nutrition, hydration and recovery for riders
• Protein, creatine and supplements
• Practical tips you can start using todayWhether you're a professional rider, amateur, groom, trainer or passionate horse owner, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you become a stronger, healthier and more effective partner for your horse.

What does it really take to become an Olympic champion?
In Episode 2 of The Stable Hour, Eva Cappelen sits down with Olympic Champion Julia Krajewski, the first woman in history to win individual Olympic gold in eventing.
But this conversation isn't really about medals.
It's about the years behind them.
Growing up without a horsey background. Learning to build a career from the ground up. Dealing with setbacks, loss, pressure, expectations, and finding a way forward when things don't go according to plan.
Together, Eva and Julia discuss the difference between dreams and goals, the mindset behind long-term success, horse welfare at the highest level, social media, young riders, and why success doesn't necessarily erase suffering.
A thoughtful and honest conversation about horses, ambition, resilience, and the long game behind greatness.

What happens when results become more important than the horse?t
In the first episode of The Stable Hour, Eva Cappelen sits down with Pether Markne, one of Europe's most respected trainers and horsemen, an Olympic dressage rider, and former international showjumper, for a conversation about horsemanship, patience, and long-term development.
Together, they discuss why so many riders rush the process, the importance of understanding the horse instead of blaming it, and how curiosity often creates better results than frustration. Pether shares his thoughts on modern equestrian sport, the pressure facing young riders, the role of trainers, and why true progress starts with learning to see the horse in front of you.
From flatwork and foundations to mindset, management, and the responsibility we carry as riders, this episode explores what it really means to love the horse more than the sport.
