Ep 38: OTTB Clinic Recap: Madeline & Pete Dig Deep to Conquer Camp Windurra

In Part 2 of Madeline's Camp Windurra experience, we follow Madeline and her OTTB, Pepe and Heywood or "Pete" as they wrap up their final days at Boyd Martin’s Camp Windurra. On Day 4, Madeline worked closely with Olympic-level trainers, including another cross country school with Boyd and dressage with Silva Martin, honing her dressage skills and focusing on precision, rhythm, and connection with her OTTB. By Day 5, Madeline and her Thoroughbred faced a mock horse trial, tackling a challenging course designed to test their newfound confidence and agility.
Madeline opens up about the lessons learned in these intense sessions, how she managed the pressure, and how the experience has impacted her future plans with her OTTB. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to participate in a high-level training camp with your off-track Thoroughbred, this episode offers an inside look into the techniques, teamwork, and mindset needed to succeed.
