In this episode of the Equestrian Hub Podcast, US show jumping team member Chloe Reid opens up about her journey in the sport, the horses who shaped her career, and the values that drive her training philosophy. The conversation weaves together her family legacy, training strategies, sponsorship philosophy, and personal routines that keep her grounded while competing at the highest level. “My advice is to take every opportunity you can, whether it’s grooming, riding, or just watching the best at the big shows like Aachen. You’ll learn so much from observing. Absorb advice from everyone, but stay true to yourself and your style—because in the end, it’s just you and your horse in the ring, and you have to believe in your system." — Chloe Reid
