    Horse Talk: Equestrian Women's Brain Health, Longevity, and a New Community from The Horse Review Host Lauren Abbott of The Horse Review shares midweek updates on new content testing across print, digital, and podcasts, and announces a deeper focus on equestrian women's brain health and longevity; especially ages 35+ navigating perimenopause, stress, and changing lifestyles. She says the community is asking for science-backed research and case studies on how riding supports nervous system regulation, stress resilience, neuroplasticity, and potentially delays cognitive decline. Abbott connects the topic to her mother's catastrophic brain stem stroke and her father's dementia and stroke, noting women's increased insulin resistance during hormonal decline and stroke risk factors like diabetes. She cites a study of adults 65+ where eight weeks of riding improved brainwave output and memory more than traditional exercise. She invites listeners to join a free biweekly newsletter and optional subscription for full studies and expert interviews, with upcoming neurologist-led podcast episodes.

  • SafeSport in Equestrian Sport: The Red Flags We Ignore & Why Barn Culture Still Protects the Wrong People

    SafeSport in Equestrian Sport: The Red Flags We Ignore & Why Barn Culture Still Protects the Wrong People
    2026/02/24
    Insights Into Equine Law: Safe Sport and the Future of Equestrian Governance For many within the equestrian community, the mention of "Safe Sport" elicits a complex reaction: confusion regarding its scope, concern over its implementation, and fear of its power. Yet, despite the rumors and anxiety that often circulate in barns and showgrounds, the entity remains a permanent and powerful fixture in the landscape of Olympic sports. To demystify this regulatory body, it is essential to turn to legal experts who navigate its intricacies daily. Kimbrell Hines, equine attorney with Turkel Cuva Barrios Guerra Law, offers a critical perspective on the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Through her work, Hines positions herself not just as a lawyer, but as an educator, helping equine professionals and amateurs alike understand the shifting sands of compliance, liability, and procedural fairness in the horse industry. The Origins and Mandate of Authority Understanding Safe Sport requires looking back at the legislative machinery that built it. It is not merely a club rule or a federation guideline; it is a federal mandate. "Safe Sport is really unique in a lot of ways," Hines explains. "It did originate from a law that Congress had passed in 2017. Congress passed the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse in Safe Sport Authorization Act. And that act basically created Safe Sport as we know it." This distinction is vital for equestrians to grasp. The Center operates as a private organization but wields authority granted by the federal government. "It's kind of unique because it is this private, non-profit entity," Hines notes. "It's not a government agency, but it has a lot of authority, and... some very serious authority that regulates horse people, professionals, owners, competitors, and definitely has some very serious consequences, despite it not being a government entity." The creation of the Center was "created from a reactive position," largely in response to the systemic failures seen in other sports, most notably the abuse scandals within USA Gymnastics. The goal was to address power imbalances and misconduct that traditional self-governance in sport had failed to stop. The Educational Component: Beyond Punishment While the disciplinary actions of Safe Sport often dominate the headlines, the system was designed with a dual purpose: to punish misconduct and to prevent it through education. Hines emphasizes that this educational aspect is the cornerstone of long-term cultural change in the sport. "It's not just for protecting athletes after something has happened, but there's a huge educational component to hopefully prevent those things from happening," Hines says. This prevention strategy relies on informing all parties of the boundaries. "So not only do coaches and trainers and those who are involved with athletes know what is and is not tolerated, but also athletes themselves, by taking advantage of Safe Sport education, one can learn what should and should not be happening." Friction with Equestrian Culture Despite the clear mandate, the application of Safe Sport rules within the equestrian world has generated significant friction. The equestrian lifestyle differs fundamentally from other Olympic disciplines. The sport involves an animal partner, requiring long hours, travel, and a blur between professional and personal time that doesn't exist in sports like swimming or tennis. Hines acknowledges this industry-specific tension. "I hear a lot of complaints about USEF or Safe Sport not being, I guess you could say, applicable to equestrian sport, or having these really overreaching, or what's seen as burdensome rules and regulations," she says. "Nobody else has an animal partner. There's no other sport that is similar." Hines states that following SafeSport regulations are a non-negotiable requirement for any sport aiming to maintain its Olympic status. She suggests that equestrian participants view these rules as the necessary price of admission, and accept that certain requirements will not align perfectly with the unique nature of working with horses. The Controversy: Adult Disputes and Jurisdiction One of the most contentious aspects of Safe Sport in recent years has been the expansion of its scope. Originally conceived primarily to protect minors, the regulations encompass all participants, leading to complex situations involving adults. "We are talking about Safe Sport, which is a very large entity that regulates a lot of sports. And of all ages, adults and minors," Hines states. The concern among many equestrians is that the system is being weaponized for personal grievances rather than safety. "I think one of the critiques that we see on the equestrian side, or at least a concern, is that what originated primarily with the focus of protecting minors is now sometimes being seen as this kind of quasi-judicial, dispute resolution process between adults in certain instances," Hines explains.
