Baloutinue: Confident and Personable Olympic Medalist

EqPI - Equine Performance Identities Episode 10

Rumor has it Balou was "very, very, very, very difficult" as a young horse, but he is now one of the best show jumpers in the world, including two Olympic silver medals. Laura Kraut joins as our guest to talk about how she and her team meet his personality related needs. From giving him "soup," hacking him out, letting him choose how long he lunges and warms up for... it's all about keeping "Business Balou" and "Personable Balou" happy and knowing when to tailor to which.
