Every horse show calendar tells a story.
Long before the first hotel is booked or the trailer is loaded, trainers are making decisions that shape an entire season—developing horses, qualifying for championships, managing budgets, balancing clients, and deciding which shows best fit the goals of the program.
In this episode, Elizabeth Vagnoni and Reynolds Martin take listeners inside a barn's horse show calendar to explore how those decisions are made, why different programs choose different paths, and what those choices reveal about the changing landscape of horse sport. Along the way, they discuss the future of local horse shows, destination venues, and why a calendar is much more than a list of dates.
