'Horse Before the Course’ with Kathy Goodman
(🔗 in comments)

Buckle up for a positively fun episode with special guest Kathy Goodman! In Horse Before the Course, OTTB on Tap speaks with Kathy about 4 seemingly separate, yet intertwined topics:

• Pressure Proof Clinics that challenge your “mental RAM” and teach ways to tap into your inner super power and perform under pressure
• USDF “L” Judging Program - how learning to judge dressage has transformed Kathy as a rider and trainer (spoiler alert: learn tips straight from the judge’s mouth!)
• Retired Racehorse Project Makeover: Kathy is training not one but two OTTBs for this year’s Makeover: Baltimore Babe (from Mareworthy) and Sgt Reckless USMC (from After The Races) - learn about training OTTBs at liberty! (and dressage)
• Mareworthy: Kathy is also on the board of Mareworthy a charity specifically geared towards rehabilitating and rehoming (when appropriate) OTTB mares, ex-broodmares in particular!

To meet Kathy is to immediately feel comfortable with her friendly, candid, and thoughtful approach. Her enthusiasm for OTTBs (and all horses) is contagious. A lifelong ‘crazy horse girl’ with a background in eventing, hunter/jumpers, and even some western thrown in, Kathy also is a graduate of the Pressure Proof program, started by Dan Stewart, and teaches clinics regularly.

We also chat about her adventures in becoming a dressage judge, and her two OTTBs that she is retraining for the RRP Makeover. She is a passionate supporter of OTTB aftercare, and talks about a new program called Mareworthy Match to help pair potential adopters with OTTB mares. Not looking to adopt an OTTB at this time? That’s fine! Mareworthy has also created a Pasture Pals program, where for a small monthly donation, you can help support a worthwhile cause.

Thanks for riding with me OTTB on Tap!

Catch Riding an OTTB ‘Under Pressure’

***🔗 in first comment***

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.

Day 3 at the 2024 USPC National Convetion was a total success! Coach even got to sit in on my seminar! Thank you so much to my sponsor, Meghan Lewis and the USPC for their belief in me and The Coaching Code. A huge shout out to Gillian Stover for her stellar organizing and speaker-welcoming efforts!

A big thanks is in order for my Mom, for the support and being so good at handing out packets to participants! And there is another big thank you to Coach, for his incredible mentorship leading up to and at the event!

The Coaching Code has been awesome and getting to share it at the USPC National Convention with all of these wonderful folks has been even better!

Catch my last seminar tomorrow at 10:45! It’s for athletes, it’s for coaches, it’s for equestrian-kind!

Pressure Proof plus Mom made it to Reno! Can’t wait to see all the shiny Pony Club faces and share the Coaching Code!

01/22/2024

What’s the Coaching Code??

The Coaching Code aims to promote positivity and understanding in equestrian sport by providing education to coaches and athletes for creating successful, fulfilling, and happy barn cultures. In a sport that can often be hard and illusive, The Coaching Code is the light at the end of the tunnel. We can all be better, when we work better together!

01/22/2024

I couldn’t be more excited or honored to be finishing my final preparations for the USPC Convention! I’m presenting The Coaching Code for the very first time & it’s going to be great!
