  What Endures with Christoph Hess

  Jul 21, 202645 min

  After a Lifetime with Horses, What Remains True? For more than six decades, Christoph Hess has devoted his life to horses, riders, and the art of learning. As an international dressage and eventing judge, educator, trainer, and ambassador for German riding theory, he has stood at the heart of equestrian sport, witnessing its evolution across generations. Yet beyond the achievements, titles, and decades of experience lies a deeper question: What endures? In this thoughtful conversation, Christoph reflects on the lessons learned through a lifetime of teaching, judging, observing, and listening. Together, we explore what horses have taught him, the role of self-awareness in learning, why some riders continue to grow while others remain stuck, and how knowledge is transformed into feel, timing, and understanding in the saddle. One message emerges again and again throughout our conversation: true progress does not come from searching for the next method or shortcut, but from continually returning to the fundamental principles of good horsemanship. The basics are not something we leave behind as we become more advanced—they are the foundation we revisit throughout our entire riding lives. It is through this continual refinement of the fundamentals that greater harmony, feel, and partnership with the horse are found. We also discuss how the changes unfolding within the dressage world can become opportunities for reflection, growth, and positive change. At its heart, this is a conversation about far more than riding. It is about learning, wisdom, human development, and the timeless qualities that continue to matter—both in horsemanship and in life. Because when everything else changes, the question remains: What endures?

  Playing Chess at Full Gallop with Glen Gilmore

  Jul 7, 202650 minS1

  What do horses spend a lifetime trying to teach us? For Glen Gilmore, horses have been a constant companion throughout life. From growing up in a multi-generational horse family on Queensland's Darling Downs to captaining the Australian Polo Team and competing on the international stage, horses have shaped not only his career, but also the person he has become. Yet beyond the speed, strategy and pressure of elite polo lies a deeper story. In this episode of The Equestrian's Inner Life, Pernille sits down with Glen to explore the lessons hidden within a lifetime of horsemanship. Together, they discuss decision-making under pressure, preparation, leadership, self-awareness and the wisdom that can only come from decades spent listening to horses. Drawing inspiration from his podcast, The Horse That Asked Why, Glen reflects on what horses have revealed about human nature, how our inner state influences performance, and whether the horse has been quietly teaching the same lessons all along. This is a conversation about far more than sport. It's about curiosity over certainty, awareness over reaction, and the lifelong journey of becoming the person our horses need us to be. Whether you're a polo player, dressage rider, horse lover, or simply someone interested in personal growth, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that some of life's greatest teachers don't speak with words.

We also explore where she goes when she needs to restore her own energy — and what sanctuary looks like for someone who has spent a lifetime exploring the world.

  The Power of Showing Up with Vanessa Way

  Jun 9, 202638 minS1

  Some riders spend a lifetime chasing better results. Others discover that the deeper journey lies in understanding the person behind the rider. This week on The Equestrian’s Inner Life, I sit down with New Zealand Grand Prix rider and coach Vanessa Way for a thoughtful conversation about the inner side of equestrian life. Over decades with horses, Vanessa has produced horses through every level to Grand Prix, earned national titles, and become one of the most respected figures in Australasian dressage. Alongside her competitive career, she has dedicated herself to teaching and mentoring riders through clinics across New Zealand and Australia, helping others develop not only their skills in the saddle but also their understanding of themselves. Together, we explore how awareness shapes performance, the lessons horses teach us about patience and perspective, and why true progress often begins long before we enter the arena. Vanessa shares her reflections on coaching, competition, personal growth, and the realities of pursuing excellence over a lifetime with horses. It is a conversation rich in experience, honesty, and wisdom gathered through years of listening, learning, and continually evolving. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Vanessa Way.
