What does it take to build a course that challenges horses and riders while still allowing them to succeed?
In this episode of The Plaidcast, Piper Klemm welcomes course designer Meghan Rawlins back to the show to talk about the art, strategy, and horsemanship behind course design.
From getting her start helping at local shows in exchange for entries to becoming an FEI Level 3 course designer, Meghan shares insights from a career that has taken her from Vancouver Island to some of the sportโs biggest stages. She discusses the experience of designing at major championships, how she approaches different classes and levels, and the perspective that comes from being both a professional horsewoman and course designer.
