Welcome to the first ever Strawmax Stable Chats In this new monthly series, we’ve teamed up with Strawmax to bring you behind-the-scenes conversations with some of the biggest names in the equestrian world—riders, grooms, owners, and trainers. These are the kinds of chats you might have in the tack room or out on a hack—easy, honest, and full of insight.
To kick things off, Sam Watson joins Nicole to answer four key questions covering horses, life, and everything in between. From running a tidy yard to sharing port on the sofa with his family, Sam offers a glimpse into what makes him tick.
Highlights: • The most valuable lesson Sam’s learned from working with horses • His best advice for keeping a yard running like clockwork • The dream dinner party guest list (with a few surprises) • What he'd do with an extra hour in the day
Guest: Sam Watson – Irish Olympian, EquiRatings co-founder, and a thoughtful horseman with a sharp sense of humour and plenty of stories to tell.
