Ep. 28: Catch Riding an OTTB 'Under Pressure'
OTTB on Tap had the good fortune of attending a Pressure Proof clinic at the After the Races facility in Elkton, MD on June 15. Taught by Kathy Goodman, Niamh jumped at the opportunity to catch ride one of the adoptable ATR horses, Some is Nine. “Nine” is a 6 year old Thoroughbred mare by Super Ninety Nine out of an Awesome Again mare. She came to After The Races in partnership with Beyond The Wire. In this episode, we find out about Niamh and Emily’s impressions of the Pressure Proof training session, which Niamh described as “HIIT exercises for your brain” and how this has practical applications to both everyday riding and competition.
Stay tuned for an upcoming episode about the clinician and OTTB enthusiast, Kathy Goodman, and her involvement not only with the Pressure Proof system, but Mareworthy, the RRP Makeover, and also her road to becoming a dressage judge.
For more information about After the Races, a 501c(3) Thoroughbred aftercare organization, please give a listen to Episode 10, OTTB Aftercare Spotlight: After the Races. where we interviewed ATR’s founder, Bonnie McRae.
