Ep 40: RRP Trainer Chronicles: Julianne & Ashley Break Down Rye’s AEC Success & Makeover...

Join us for the latest episode of the RRP Trainer Chronicles, where hosts Niamh and Emily sit down with Julianne Pangal and Ashley Olin to check in on their OTTB, Brooklawn (aka Rye), fresh off a successful run at the American Eventing Championships (AEC). Get an inside look at their journey as they share Rye’s training progress, key moments from the AEC, and how they’re preparing him for the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) Thoroughbred Makeover. Though he has excelled at eventing, they describe why they've aimed him at dressage and hunters for the Makeover, and discuss what it is like to train and compete Rye as a team.
Listeners will hear about Rye's progress, training challenges, and how Julianne and Ashley are preparing for the 2024 Makeover. Plus, they offer practical tips for managing OTTBs that are recently off the track. Tune in for a deep dive into Rye’s development and a sneak peek at their training plan leading up to the RRP Makeover!
