Doug Payne - Riding Horse Repair Manual Episode number #030

Doug Payne is one of the lucky people who started riding at a very young age. Doug has been profiled in and contributed to magazines such as Practical Horseman, US Eventing Magazine, The Chronicle of the Horse, Eventing Nation as well as a number of other regional and national publications and media. Along with Jim Wofford, Doug produced the acclaimed 'the Rider's Eye' instructional DVD. Doug's latest effort is the book, The Riding Horse Repair Manual, an instructional guide to developing confident and competitive horses. The book not only gives you tips on better riding and horsemanship, but also teaches you how to deal with bad behavior in your horse.

Doug Payne might be best known in the discipline of Eventing. Doug has won countless national and international competitions from Beginner Novice through Advanced. In Dressage he has had international success through FEI Intermediate I. Aside from Dressage and Eventing, Doug has extensive experience in jumping. He has ridden multiple horses from the lowest levels through Grand Prix with many top placings at national competitions.

Crown Talisman

If you stopped by the Doug Payne Equestrian Sports webpage you will quickly discover just how busy Doug stays. He rides sometimes ten or twelve horses a day. When he is not training he is competing. We managed to catch up with Doug at his new place in North Carolina. We learn a little bit about his early history with horses and his plans for the future. Doug and his wife Jess had just returned from the Saumur CCI 3 star in France. As part of a grant from Land Rover Doug Payne competed on Crown Talisman, his 17.1 dark bay Thoroughbred-Holsteiner cross gelding.

There is also a pretty cool "helmet cam" video of Doug on Talisman making their run in France. You can find it here and check out Doug Payne's Youtube Channel. And if all that is not enough, you can find training videos online from Doug Payne.

Horseback Adventures and Endurance Riding

Horseback Adventures and Endurance Riding Margaret Reynolds is an endurance rider who enjoys traveling abroad on horse adventures. When my friend and listener, John Zeliff, told me she would make a great guest, I listened. John is president of the NATRC , and we had him on the show a while back to talk about endurance riding. Margaret Reynolds is a Master Growth Catalyst of Breakthrough Masters Unlimited. For over 20 years, she has helped companies grow and improve their businesses. She has always had a love of horses. Like many, after her kids grew up and went out on their own, she got a horse. Margaret found endurance riding was her thing and joined both NATRC and AERC to compete in the sport. She also had a bucket list of places she would like to ride. With a tight group of friends sharing the same desire to ride in exotic places, they took their first horseback adventure to Spain. They rode the country, met the people, and sample the food. Margaret and her friends got to see the country from a unique vantage point. Since then, she has traveled and rode horses in many places, including Jordan, Portugal, and Morroco. Margaret is an avid writer and documents lessons from these trips in her blog . One of her articles about a horseback adventure she had in India riding a Marwari horse was published in the Outdoor Journal . Margaret tells us the trips were transformative, and she encourages any with a inkling to pursue their dream. Horseback Adventures Over the years, I've been lucky to interview many people in the travel industry. Most recently was Keith Swenson of Stone Horse Expeditions in Mongolia . You can also find my interview from Equestrian Adventuresses with Krystal Kelly .
