S2 #2 Dressage dreams & a winning “home team” | Chat with Bobby Hayler-Wright
This episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Bobby Hayler-Wright, who opens up about her journey from dressage stardom to motherhood - and what it really takes to find balance between mucking out, mum life, and maintaining her own identity.
Bobby chats about her early days in the sport, how her approach to fitness and competition has evolved post-baby, and the ever-present tug of mum guilt (we’ve all been there!).
She also discusses the importance of the support network around you, and how her parents, husband, neighbours and clients are all part of that community. She’s honest, funny, and refreshingly real about the juggle - reminding us all that it’s okay to slow down, adapt, and make space for ourselves along the way.
Plus, Bobby gives us our very first guest ‘Quick Tack Hack’ - so you’ll want to listen up for that!
Whether you’re an expectant equestrian mum, already deep in the toddler trenches, or just trying to figure out how to get back in the saddle (literally or figuratively!), this one’s for you.
Key takeaways for this episode:
Your dreams don’t have to go on hold due to motherhood. By giving yourself permission to chase your goals, you’ll teach your kids to do the same.
Stop being so hard on yourself! The plan you have in your head is rarely the plan that actually happens… Change is inevitable, so being adaptable is key.
Look after yourself and make yourself a priority. Part of that is learning to ask for help when you need it, but also learning to accept that help, too.
