Will Rogers originally joined the podcast back in 2021, on Episode 43. Warwick gets the opportunity to re-interview Will in front of a live audience during Equitana Melbourne 2024. Will had also just recently presented at The Journey On Podcast Summit in Birmingham, England, earlier in August, so it was a great pleasure to spend more time with him in person.
Along with being a world-class Dressage trainer and rider, Will Rogers is the founder of the Espire Foundation, which promotes a way of keeping, handling, and training horses where an understanding of their nature creates a foundation for horse friendly communication. Will began working with horses in South Australia. Eventually, he made the move to the United States to pursue a career training cutting horses. After two years in America, Will traveled to Denmark to reconnect with his good friend Tristan Tucker whom he had earlier worked with in Australia. After becoming fascinated with dressage, Will’s purpose became to share ideas and seek a better understanding of horses as well as a better way to train and work with them. His aim was to open up opportunities to develop a more advanced and refined approach to training horses. Will now puts on live performances that showcase the unique partnership he creates with his horses during liberty work. In this episode, Will and Warwick discuss the self-reflective practices that allow them to be with their horses in a raw and purposeful way.
