#28 Resilience, respect & equestrian employee rights | Chat with Ali Surrey DaneDescription
Do you ever meet people in this life that you are immediately drawn to? What is the defining factor for you? For us, often it's a blend of grit, charisma, authenticity and a multifaceted skillset - which this episode's guest certainly has in spades!
Like many of the equestrian parents we've spoken to, Ali Surrey Dane has multiple hats to wear...
- She runs and owns a livery yard - Hurston Dressage and Eventing
- She's a British Dressage Coaching Certificate L3 coach and List 3 British Dressage judge
- She's a rider (although seems to take that title with a pinch of salt!)
- She's a Non-Executive Director for both the British Grooms Association and the Equestrian Employers Association
- Of course, she's also a mummy, too - to one gorgeous little boy, Rafael!
How does she do it all... we'll never really know! But, on a sunny day in mid-March, we got up close and personal with the wonderful lady, herself.
In this episode, listeners can hear a little bit more about...
- What Ali really think the equestrian industry needs more of (Clue: it's not horses!)
- How she managed to buy herself a little Lusitano gelding... and not a big warmblood mare?
- How a rough pregnancy doesn't necessarily mean a slow return to riding!
- Her son and his namesake
- How equestrian employers need to make changes for parents to sustain their own businesses
- Plus, much more... in true Equestrian Mums Club fashion!
