In this episode, Heather interviews Terri Delbridge -- And what a story Terri has!
Terri is a carded Arabian judge. She’s been in the center of some of the biggest show pens in the fine horse world, like the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. Yet, not everyone knows the challenges she’s faced.
Terri survived a flesh-eating bacterium that resulted in a 4-month stay at the University of Michigan with a 1% chance of survival. She has endured 20 surgeries and a mountain of physical challenges. She’s persevered through it all with a positive outlook.
Terri feels that one of her most significant contributions to the industry is her “eye” - she discusses what she sees from the judge’s perspective at the center of the show pen. First impressions are essential.
Terri continues to persevere as a judge and coach. As she continues to travel the country, she says she learns something from everyone she works with. Terri is an inspiration for us all!
