Passion, attention, involvement - these are three of the main pillars of Alexandra Hird's extraordinary horsemanship.
The lovely US show jumper and trainer runs the beautiful Mad Maple Farm in Ocala, Florida and is the guest on the latest episode of our Equine 74 podcast. She talks to Christian about her first contact with horses as a child “playing horse trainer” with her friend and her time working for the legendary Chapot riding family, where she learned that ‘sometimes the simplest way is the best way’.
Of course, she also talks about life on her own stable that she runs with her husband August Torsilieri, also a successful equestrian. Here, every single horse receives special attention every day – from individually tailored daily schedules for each of her horses to personal bonds with all of them, how she gives them self-confidence and ‘sets them up for success’.
You will also find out what Alexandra loves most about her Derby horse Carl and why she swears by Equine 74 products.
