Equiteam's Liz Daniels chats to Hannah MacIntosh about her journey to the MCi British Championships at Addington and being invited to campaign to represent Great Britain at the MCi European Finals in Belgium.

Hannah first met Rosa, a three day old PRE by complete chance whilst on the way to her local pub! She was instantly drawn to the little filly, and by the time she arrived she had brought her!

Having quietly produced her, Hannah shares her journey as they campaign to represent their country.

They ask the question - what habit would you like to create?

On today's podcast, we're joined by Joanna Lockhart to talk about the highs, lows and unexpected twists of her confidence journey with her horse, Laila.
At 48, Jo inherited the ride on Laila from her daughter, despite having barely ridden since she was a teenager. What followed was a journey that tested her confidence, resilience and determination in ways she never expected. From taking 20 minutes just to get on, to hiding around the back of the stables because she felt embarrassed by her lack of skills and experience, Jo knows all too well what it feels like to lose confidence in the saddle.
A turning point came at Confidence Camp, where Jo discovered something incredibly important: she wasn't the only one. Being surrounded by other riders experiencing the same fears and frustrations helped her realise that confidence isn't about being fearless – and that progress doesn't always happen in a straight line.
Fast forward a few years and, after plenty of progress, Jo experienced a setback when she fractured her back. Yet what could have felt like another blow to her confidence ultimately helped lay some of the most important foundations for her relationship with Laila.
In this honest and inspiring conversation, Jo reflects on the moments when she wanted to give up, the setbacks that changed her perspective, and how she went from simply trying to get on her horse to genuinely enjoying their time together.
It's a brilliant reminder that confidence isn't about becoming a different rider – it's about finding your own way forward, one step at a time, with a big smile on your face.
