このコンテンツについて
In this episode of The Two Point Perspective, Lizzo and Reynolds break down the generational gap in horsemanship — what riding looked like in the 1970s and what it looks like now. They talk about barn culture, hands-on horse care, green horses, the rise of “rules,” and how trainers today are balancing safety, liability, and an entirely different business model.
This conversation isn’t about which era was better — it’s about understanding how the sport has evolved, what was gained, what was lost, and what still truly matters in the saddle.
What We Talk About in This Episode:- How Lizzo and Reynolds actually became friends (medical emergencies, wine, and chaos)
- What horsemanship looked like in the 70s: learning by doing, green horses, teaching riders to teach their horses
- What horsemanship looks like today: structure, program riding, safety rules, insurance, specialization
- Why mistakes used to be considered “learning,” and now feel like “content”
- How social media changed expectations — and why some trainers don’t want mistakes online
- Why riders used to practice outside of lessons and often can’t now
- The real impact of tech, apps, sensors, and therapy tools
- What we lose when hands-on daily care disappears
- The shift from “learn your horse” to “follow the program”
- Accessibility — why it’s harder now, and how local circuits matter more than ever
- What both generations wish the sport would bring back
Key Takeaways:
- Horsemanship used to be built in the barn aisle — not in the lesson plan.
- Today’s systems offer more safety & structure, but sometimes less freedom to learn.
- Both generations agree: the heart of the sport is time, touch, and daily connection.
- Riders don’t just need skills — they need opportunities.
We want to hear your perspective.
- What was your barn like growing up?
- Did you learn by doing?
- Or are you navigating today’s world of programs, apps, and rules?
