From the outside looking in, the horse show way of life may seem like a dream job! What most people fail to see is the day-to-day grind of taking care of horses and all that goes along with them. Many trainers have aspirations of getting to the top, and then staying on top, but what is not openly discussed is the mental and physical stress that comes with the territory. In this episode, Clay has an open and straightforward conversation with professional horse trainer Rob Huddleston of 4F Performance Horses. They discuss the highs of the horse show world and the lows of the physical and mental stress placed on trainers and their families.
