Ep. 6 -- Eventing Long Format: Why you wanted to be sitting on an OTTB

In this week's episode, we talk to Emily (my cohost) and hear about her very first Classic Long Format (which just happened to be the NAYRC Championships) with her OTTB, Alex. We break down the elements of the long format and the training and preparation needed to compete in the late 90s. Emily gives us a first-hand account of what it was like getting her OTTB to his first long-format event and all the highs and lows throughout the event.

We're dedicating the episode to Jimmy Wofford who coached the NAYRC Area 2 team to their silver medal success that year.
