Olympic eventer Boyd Martin breaks down what bravery in the saddle really means—and it’s not just charging ahead without fear.

In this personal masterclass, he unpacks the emotional side of riding, from self-doubt and performance pressure to the inner fire that drives us.

Boyd shares how years of preparation, partnership with the horse, and mental clarity helped him navigate high-stakes moments like being the first rider out at the London 2012 Olympics.

He explores the two extremes riders often fall into—hesitation and over-aggression—and how to find the calm, confident middle ground that allows both horse and rider to thrive.

This bonus episode is full of real-talk about mindset, competition nerves, and the routines that build unshakable confidence in and out of the arena.
