  • Devon Deets & Season 2 Highlights | Ep 22
    In this heartfelt episode of The Equestrian Amateur, I take you along on my recent trip to the beautiful Devon Horse Show, a place that holds a special significance for me. As I filmed season two of *Inside the Gate*, I encountered a whirlwind of highs and lows that shaped my experience. I’m so excited to share the relatable and down-to-earth stories of both top riders and amateur athletes, emphasizing the importance of showcasing the real struggles and joys of the equestrian sport. I also introduce the two incredible amateur riders featured in this season, Piper and Hannah, who add their unique perspectives and challenges to the mix. Filming was both exhilarating and exhausting, and I candidly discuss the difficulties of being away from home for an extended period, along with the frustrations I faced while trying to work with sponsors who didn’t fully support our vision. One of the key points I touch on is the need for a shift in equestrian marketing. I believe brands should represent their target demographic authentically instead of relying on the same old generic formulas. I encourage our community to voice their feelings about the current state of equestrian marketing and how we can collectively push for positive change. I also dive into a serious topic—the impact of internet bullying within our community. This negativity creates a fear that stifles brands and individuals from taking creative risks. I urge everyone to rise above the trolls, stay true to their values, and create content that aligns with their authentic messaging. Throughout this episode, I share my passion for Inside the Gate and my commitment to standing up against bullying to support my fellow equestrians. I recount how I overcame my fears and insecurities during my time at the Devon Horse Show and encourage you to believe in yourselves and your dreams, no matter how crazy they may seem. Be sure to tune in for this empowering conversation, and don’t forget to subscribe and join the email list for updates on future episodes. I can’t wait to share more stories with you! WATCH
