Welcome to Part 1 of 2  Focused on Rider Health Endurance Horse Podcast    Created February 3, 2020 Welcome to episode 32  of Endurance Horse Podcast!      Rider health is the topic today & it has been a popular one, not surprising, all of us are riders & all have health to deal with.   When it comes to rider health we are  referring to an encompassing topic.  Today we are chatting about everything from overcoming injures, dealing with illnesses,  how horses are therapist and yes, some about riders fitness & emotional health.   Guess what?  SO many files were sent in I couldn't possibly fit them all into one episode, and believe it or not I am about to leave here in an hour to go do a second interview on this topic!   Honestly I was hesitant to cover this topic, as I know some of it can be hard to hear.  It maybe easier to trot through a ride camp world where we all just smile and wave at each other- and not be the tiniest bit aware of what could be going on in the body of the other rider--- though think about how much we pay attention to the health of the rider's horse.   I hope this episode does a lot to remind us all that all riders have more to contend with than the weather, the horse and the trail.     Christina Hyke Cheers to the first episode of 2020!   Jenna Corsiatto North Dakota, USA Brain Injury Association   Kim Fosler Illinois, USA Keep ‘em Covered Rump Rugs   Christina Hyke Wisconsin, USA WARHORSE Endurance  Endurance Horse Podcast Christina Hyke Photography       Mandy Blankenship Kentucky, USA Mandy Lawson Art Artful Touch Equine Massage   Jen Moore Wisconsin, USA Standardbred Adoption      Jenny Chandler Waikato, New Zealand Tom Quilty Gold Cup   Courtney Krueger Tennesee, USA Gallop on the Greenway Ride & Tie Lindy Griffith Florida, USA Touched by a Horse   Charlie, Sandy's horse who helped heal her heart.
