Richard Spooner knew at an early age that he enjoyed being around horses but he was pretty certain that he didn’t want to ride and he definitely didn’t want to ride English. He claims most of his career has been an accident .
In this candid conversation, Richard brings us along on his journey from his early days riding with girls in pigtails to his more recent successes on the world stage . All with a dose of humour.
He reflects on how lucky he was to work with three exceptional mentors and how blessed he was and continues to be , to have people that support him on his grand adventure.
He is humble, authentic and wise as he shares what he has learned from the sport of show jumping.
