The horse show industry is full of hard-working determined people, but one group that faces a lot of challenges are young trainers: In our new series, we’d like to introduce up-and-coming trainers, starting with Lilli Falk. We talked about her career, her horses and what advice she would give other young trainers.

Come back stronger – if that can be said about a horse at the Q22, it’s definitely Shes All The Candy. „Cookie“ as she is fondly called by owner Elisa Frischbier took a break from her show career after winning the Junior Trail at the Q18 with Karin Prevedel – and she returned to the Q22 this year and took home the title in Senior Trail with Christina Gruber. We talked to Elisa and Christina about this incredible success.

Many people dream of visiting the Congress or World Show at some point, some consider doing so while working for one of the high-class training barns that go to these shows. For Anna Lejvell from Sweden that dream has come true: She has been working in the States for a while now and was at the AQHA World Show when we sent over some questions.

With the AQHA World Show in full swing and other big shows in the past weeks, I have come to once again think about trends. As in other areas of life, trends in the horse show industry come and go – that’s only natural and in a way, it’s part of the fun, because change is good.
