EP 6: Keeping the Grand Prix Dressage Horse

“Routines are important, not only for us, but they give great comfort to horses.”  – Nikki Alvin-Smith

Paul & Nikki Alvin-Smith of Willowview Hill Farm, are British international-level Grand Prix trainers who have successfully competed in Europe to scores over 72% at Grand Prix. This husband and wife team have also trained several horses of various breeds from birth to Grand Prix, and trained many students up through the ranks of dressage in their careers. While both have worked with more than a few icons in the dressage world, their training has been most influenced by their work with Olympic trainer, Raul de Leon, and Grand Master Herbert Rehbein, of Germany.

In this episode, I chat with Nikki Alvin-Smith about their dressage training program and how their farm stable routine supports their equine athletes at the highest level.

New Vocations Thoroughbred Adoption
Stall and Stable Podcast

EP 4: How OTTBs Get New Vocations

Thoroughbred racing has long been a part of American history, so has the unfortunate demise of thoroughbreds when they are no longer able to generate income for their owners. In response to the overwhelming numbers of ex-racing thoroughbreds headed to slaughter, New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program was founded, offering retired racehorses new opportunities for compassionate homes and suitable jobs. The program was so successful, that New Vocations is now the largest Offtrack Thoroughbred adoption program in the U.S. Recently, New Vocations completed construction of a brand new, state-of-the-art equestrian facility focused primarily on housing thoroughbreds in transition. Today’s episode is about how the design and buildout of that facility serves the New Vocations mission. My guest, Sarah Coleman, takes us through the step-by-step process that racehorses go through, from their first day off the track, to being ready for a new home. Listen in!

Episode Topic: Off-track thoroughbreds get re-trained and re-homed after transitioning at New Vocations in Lexington, Kentucky.
