In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by international 4* event rider Michael Nolan. Michael Nolan is a skilled Irish event rider with a diverse background in fox hunting, racehorses, show jumping, and eventing. He rode for top Irish yards including Cooley Farms, Kedrah House Stud, and Tomgar Sport Horses before moving to the U.S. to further his career. He spent seven years working with 4* rider and ICP instructor Robin Walker, developing horses through the advanced level. Michael’s recent results include top finishes at the 2023 Morven Park and Plantation Field CCI3*-S with Carrabeg Hulla Balou. He now runs Nolan Sporthorses, a training and coaching business, with his wife Mckenna Knott. They are based in Florida during the winter and Michigan in the summer. In this episode, Michael shares an inside look at the realities of the industry, including: • How he got his start with horses in Ireland and eventually found his way to eventing. • His approach to starting young horses and why he believes professionals should develop their own. • The differences in horse culture between the U.S. and Ireland. • The importance of trusting your feel in the saddle and teaching students to do the same. Join Michael and Sinead for an honest and insightful conversation about building a career in eventing, from breaking young horses to trusting your instincts in the saddle.
